THE ROLE OF ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES IN THE WAVE OF GENOMIC INFORMATION

Pages 397-399 | Published online: 07 Feb 2007
 

Abstract

Technologies which efficiently dissect gene function and validate therapeutic targets are of great value in the post-sequencing era of the human genome project. The antisense oligonucleotide approach can directly use genomic sequence information, in a relatively time and cost effective manner, to define a gene's function and/or validate it as a potential therapeutic target. Antisense oligonucleotide inhibitors of gene expression may be applied to cellular assays (in vitro) or animal models of disease (in vivo). Information generated by this approach may then direct or supplement traditional drug discovery programs, or support development of the antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor, used to validate the target, as a drug.
