Abstract excerpt
Despite the promise of short interfering RNAs (siRNA), contending with off-target is a challenge for RNAi users. To alleviate these problems, we have developed locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified siRNAs and optimized performance using cellular phenotypic assays as well as microarray analysis. During development, we compared LNA and 2'OMethoxy (2'OMe) chemistries placed strategically throughout the siRNA molecule...
