Overview:

The current version of the siRNAEfficacyDB contains more than 3,000 manually collated data records of siRNA drug efficacy, including its sequence and various characteristics. Taken together, siRNAEfficacyDB provides a convenient, user-friendly interface for querying, browsing, and visualizing detailed information about these siRNA proteins. It provides the benchmark data set for computer-aided siRNA prediction and design research, and provides data support for nucleic acid drug research and development.
