Abstract: | Background RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a powerful methodology recently developed for the specific knockdown of targeted genes.
RNAi is most commonly achieved either transiently by transfection of small interfering (si) RNA oligonucleotides, or stably
using short hairpin (sh) RNA expressed from a DNA vector or virus. Much controversy has surrounded the development of rules
for the design of effective siRNA oligonucleotides; and whether these rules apply to shRNA is not well characterized. |
