MicroRNA Array

The new generation of the miRCURY™ LNA microRNA Array platform for microRNA expression profiling have increased sensitivity and specificity that allow comprehensive profiling of all known microRNAs in 54 organisms registered and annotated in miRBase 9.2 at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. We have 90% coverage of miRBase 10.0, despite the many changes from miRBase 9.2 to 10.

Dicer-Substrate RNAi

Developed as a collaborative effort between Dong-Ho Kim and John Rossi at the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope National Medical Center and Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), Dicer-substrate RNAs are chemically synthesized 27-mer duplex RNAs that are processed by Dicer into 21-mer siRNAs.

TriFECTa™

Utilizing the RNAi duplex design developed as a collaborative effort between Dong-Ho Kim and John Rossi at the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope and Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), the TriFECTa™ kit contains three Dicer-Substrate 27-mer duplexes targeting a specific gene that are selected from a predesigned set of duplexes from the RefSeq collection of human, mouse, and rat genes in Genbank.
