MatchPoint – Construct Design Software

We have developed MatchPoint software that aims to determine the best sequences of a gene to be used in a hpRNA silencing vector, for example pHannibal or pHellsgate, or a synthetic miRNA vector such as pBlueGreen from our suite of silencing vectors.

We have recently discovered that the strand selection component of the long hairpin analysis applied in MatchPoint 1.1 will not provide the best target sequences for long hairpin design in every case. Analysis and design of miRNA constructs is unaffected. The software is currently under review and an improved version will be made available as soon as possible.
