摘要
siVirus ( http://siVirus.RNAi.jp/)is a web- based online software system that provides efficient short interfering RNA ( siRNA) design for antiviral RNA interference ( RNAi). siVirus searches for functional, off-target minimized siRNAs targeting highly conserved regions of divergent viral sequences. These siRNAs are expected to resist viral mutational escape, since their highly conserved targets likely contain structurally/ functionally constrained elements. siVirus will be a useful tool for designing optimal siRNAs targeting highly divergent pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV), hepatitis C virus ( HCV), influenza virus and SARS coronavirus, all of which pose enormous threats to global human health.
