I SBIR Grant for Prediction of Effective siRNAs
Algorithm and Development of a Genome-wide Database of Functional siRNAs
There is an urgent need to develop novel bioinformatic tools and
technologies to assist in elucidating the functions of each gene in the human
genome. Recent innovations in gene knockdown technology, based on small
interfering RNA (siRNA), have revolutionized this effort. To further these
studies, System Biosciences has received an SBIR grant to develop and make
available software tools to facilitate prediction, identification, design, and
validation of effective siRNAs for all currently discovered human, mouse and rat
genes.

Genome-wide drug
target discovery with siRNA libraries and pathway-specific reporter vectors
Presenter:
Alex Chenchik, Ph.D., VP, System Biosciences
Venue:
June 21-22, 2004; Hamburg, Germany
Abstract:
We have developed a technology for the
discovery of drug targets associated with specific signaling pathway. A
lentiviral siRNA library and fluorescent transcriptional reporter vector are
transduced into target cells and cells with modulation in a specific pathway are
isolated by FACS. Functional siRNAs and corresponding target genes associated
with a specific pathway are then identified by hybridization with microarrays.
Mar 2004: Functional Dissection of Signaling Pathways using Lentiviral
Screening Libraries
3rd SBIR Grant obtained by SBI
The challenge
for functional genomics is rapid and efficient genome-wide identification of
genes responsible for complex disease phenotypes. To help meet this challenge,
SBI has received a SBIR grant to develop and commercialize biologically safe
lentiviral transcriptional reporter vectors for critical disease-related signal
transduction pathways. These reporter vectors will enable the analysis of
mechanism-specific pathways by use of a genome-wide screening methodology.
Mar 2004:
Global Gene Functional Analysis with siRNA Libraries
2nd SBIR
Grant obtained by SBI
Although we have
complete human and mouse genome information, there is a vital need to understand
the workings and interactions of genes, and connect genes with the phenotypic
responses, changes, and characteristics they control. RNA interferences
technology provides an approach to investigate gene functionality. With this
project, SBI is focusing on extending the power and utility of siRNA technology
gene-by-gene analysis to a genome-wide scale.

Dec
2003: High
Throughput Analysis of Transcription Factors
Approval for Phase I
SBIR Grant
Transcription factors,
which comprise an estimated 20% of cellular protein, are responsible for
regulating all cellular events. An understanding of these central proteins is
essential to understanding the mechanisms responsible for the wide range of
biological responses, such as disease pathology, organism development, and cellular
differentiation. However, given their number, functional analysis of these
critical factors is particularly challenging. Recently, SBI has received a
grant to pursue a unique approach to analyze transcription factors in a
high-throughput manner. In developing this approach, we hope to provide
researchers with new innovative tools to allow them to more effectively study
these vital regulatory elements.
