Antisense

The two complementary strands of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) are usually differentiated as the "sense" strand and the "antisense" strand. The DNA sense strand looks like the messenger RNA (mRNA) and can be used to read the expected protein code. However, the DNA sense strand itself is not used to make protein by the cell. It is the DNA antisense strand which serves as the source for the protein code. [Source: Wikipedia]

GenScript

To facilitate the designing process for vector-based siRNA and siRNA cassette, a tool set has been developed consisting of a siRNA target finder, a siRNA construct builder and a siRNA sequence scrambler. The siRNA target finder is used to identify candidate siRNA target sites. The program automates homology filtering, minimizes non-specific cross-reaction, filters target sites based on RNA duplex internal stability and siRNA sense/anti-sense strand secondary structure.

Listeriomics

Submitted by ChenLiang on Thu, 04/06/2017 - 18:44

As for many model organisms, the amount of Listeria omics data produced has recently increased exponentially. There are now >80 published complete Listeria genomes, around 350 different transcriptomic data sets, and 25 proteomic data sets available. The analysis of these data sets through a systems biology approach and the generation of tools for biologists to browse these various data are a challenge for bioinformaticians.
