Silencing efficacy prediction: a retrospective study on target mRNA features

Post-transcriptional gene silencing is a widely used method to suppress gene expression. Unfortunately only a portion of siRNAs do successfully reduce gene expression. Target mRNA secondary structures and siRNA-mRNA thermodynamic features are believed to contribute to the silencing activity. However...
