AUMsilence V+ for viral RNA Silencing, Target Discovery, Functional Genomics, and Therapeutic Development
AUMsilence V+ is a next generation genetic research tool for viral research ultimately leading to viral therapy development. AUMsilence V+ can be used for screening, identification, and discovery of genetic targets. Our approach also allows high throughput and fast functional genomics studies and thus potentially reducing the time for development of therapeutics for viral infections. It provides potent viral RNA knockdown by using AUMsilence V+ ASOs and is designed to degrade or sterically block viral RNA. AUMsilence V+ ASO platform offers high sequence specificity, high stability and allows potent self-delivery into cellular and animals models without the need of transfection reagents or formulations.
