Sirna duplexes

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

SiRNA duplexes are synthetic, double-stranded RNA molecules that are designed to target and silence specific genes within cells. They function by binding to and degrading the target mRNA, thereby reducing the expression of the corresponding protein.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
