Product news

AMSBIO has announced its new Trilencer-27 siRNA kit, that contains Dicer-Substrate duplexes, provides critical improvements over the use of traditional 21mer siRNA designs.

Gene silencing through the use of RNAi has become a primary tool for characterizing gene involvement in disease states and interactive pathways. Offering genome-wide coverage against human, mouse and rat, the AMSBIO Trilencer-27 siRNA kit takes advantage of the natural processing by Dicer to produce 10-fold higher potency and specificity than shorter 21mer RNAi forms. Beneficially the 27mer dicer-substrate duplexes in the kit also evade the radar of the mammalian interferon response when expressed in mammalian cells and initiate strong and specific gene silencing.

Through its optimal design (3 gene specific siRNAs and 1 negative control) - Trilencer-27 siRNA uniquely delivers the dual advantages of improved efficacy (>70% gene knockdown) and minimal interferon response.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.RNA InterferenceRNA interference (RNAi) uses siRNA or miRNA for transcriptional silencing, gene knockdown and regulation of gene expression. RNAi requires chemical synthesis, introduction of DNA vectors into cells, an assay of RNAi effects and RNAi quantification or analysis. Consider target sequence selection, reagent preparation, controls, high specificity and effectiveness and low non-specific gene knockdown.siRNA
