Reducing it to just RNA is equivalent to reducing pesticides to just "chemicals" and pointing out that all food is made of chemicals.

- asdff 3y agoIt's no different than saying the alphabet produces unique computer code from the same set of characters. These products are targeted to a given species unique sequence for a given transcript. You can validate that your siRNA targets only your species of interest by using a BLAST search against other species.
- jryb 3y agoI did the BLAST search, available here for the next two days: https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Get&RID=KE1GENDM013 https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Get&RID=KE1GEND... No hits, meaning no part of the human genome is targeted by this. Not that it matters, see my other comments for details.
