Method and system for screening siRNA sequences to reduce off-target effect

Abstract

The invention provides a method and system for screening siRNA sequences to reduce off-target effect. The method comprises the following steps: S1, integrating siRNA candidate sequence data, and marking whether common SNP exists in a siRNA sequence target region genome interval or not; S2, analyzing the characteristics of the siRNA positive and negative chain sequences, and marking whether the positive and negative chains can be correctly recognized or not on the siRNA positive and negative chain sequences; S3, analyzing the negative strand characteristics of the siRNA sequence, and labeling whether the negative strand of the siRNA sequence can trigger an autoimmune reaction or not; S4, analyzing the specificity of the siRNA positive and negative chain sequences, and carrying out siRNA sequence specificity labeling on the siRNA positive and negative chain sequences; and S5, synthesizing all the labeling results, and screening the candidate siRNA sequences. The system comprises unit modules corresponding to the steps of the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of disease treatment of small molecule interfering RNA (siRNA) technology, in particular to a method and system for screening siRNA sequences to reduce off-target effects. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the continuous deepening of RNAi research has opened up a new path for gene therapy of diseases. Small interfering RNA is precisely targeted to the mRNA of the target gene through the principle of complementarity to achieve the effect of silencing the gene. Because of this clear and rapid gene post-transcriptional regulation ability, siRNA technology has become one of the most effective means to develop drugs. Compared with traditional small molecule and antibody drug treatments, siRNA molecule drugs have technical advantages such as long half-life, convenient administration, and high efficiency. However, with the continuous expansion of the field of RNAi therapy and the continuous in-depth research o...
