 Pre-designed siRNA

siRNA
 
MISSION siRNA

Sigma-Aldrich® has entered an exclusive partnership with Rosetta Inpharmatics, a leader in advanced siRNA research, to use the proprietary Rosetta siRNA Design Algorithm to design its MISSION line of siRNA. The Rosetta siRNA Design Algorithm utilizes Position-Specific Scoring Matrices (PSSM) and knowledge of the all-important siRNA seed region to predict the most effective and specific siRNA sequences for your target gene of interest. Additionally, the Rosetta siRNA Design Algorithm was developed utilizing data from over three years of gene-silencing experiments, ensuring that the algorithm’s in-silico rules are guided and bolstered by real-world empirical evidence.

Sigma-Aldrich guarantees that two out of three siRNA duplexes per target gene will achieve knockdown efficiencies of greater than or equal to 75%.


Benefits of pre-designed MISSION siRNA, powered by the Rosetta siRNA Design Algorithm:

  • Best-in-class, guaranteed gene silencing
  • Efficient knockdown of low abundance messages
  • siRNAs targeting every gene in the current human, mouse, and rat genomes
  • Simplify transfection optimization with 11 MISSION Positive Control siRNA
  • Over 700 Mission pre-designed siRNA have been functionally validated
  • Individual Mission pre-designed siRNA or Pre-arrayed siRNA Libraries
