Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to novel short interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules that are multi-targeted. More specifically, the present invention relates to siRNA molecules that target two or more sequences. In one embodiment, multi-targeting siRNA molecules are designed to incorporate features of siRNA molecules and features of micro-RNA (miRNA) molecules. In another embodiment, multi-targeting siRNA molecules are designed so that each strand is directed to separate targets.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A multi-targeting RNA molecule that targets two or more different desired target sequences, wherein the RNA molecule comprises a first strand having a 5′ terminus and a 3′ terminus and a second strand having a 5′ terminus and a 3′ terminus, wherein the first strand is perfectly complementary to a desired mRNA target sequence, wherein the second strand contains two or more seed matches optimally spaced in a desired 3′ UTR containing target gene, wherein the fi…
