Antisense oligonucleotides
Integrated DNA Technologies Inc.Available: Worldwide
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are short oligonucleotides that localize to the nucleus and provide a pathway for gene silencing by the RNase H pathway. Phosphorothioate (PS) linkages are available to confer nuclease resistance and, therefore, enhance intracellular stability.
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are DNA oligos, typically 15–25 bases long, designed in antisense orientation to the RNA of interest. Hybridization of the ASO to the target RNA mediates RNase H cleavage of the RNA, which can inhibit the function of non-coding RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, exRNAs, scaRNAs and lncRNAs) or prevent protein translation of mRNAs.
