Webinar: How to Design Antisense Oligonucleotides (ASOs) for high on-target potency and minimal off-target effect

Available on-demand

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are synthetic nucleotides that are designed to modulate gene expression.

There are different types of ASOs with different mechanisms of action. RNase H1 gapmer ASOs are chemically modified and designed to cleave their target RNAs. Steric blocking ASOs, are often designed to block the splicing machinery to alter splicing outcomes, or to block the ribosome to inhibit translation.

By joining us for our new webinar, you’ll pick up insightful tips on gapmer ASOs, which use the endogenous RNase H1 enzyme to degrade a target RNA.



Learning objectives:

  • Brief history of ASOs
  • Chemical modifications of ASOs and guidelines on selecting the right modification
  • Design guidelines for enriching high potency ASOs
  • Guidelines for in vitro ASO delivery

Mollie Schubert is a research scientist in the Molecular Genetics Research Group at IDT. Mollie received her Master's degree in Biochemistry from Iowa State University, and has been with IDT since 2013. For the past five years, Mollie's studies have focused on CRISPR gene editing. Her research has included high-throughput screening of CRISPR-Cas9 guides for the development of a site selection tool, optimization of composition and delivery for synthetic RNA reagents complexed to recombinant CRISPR nucleases, and the development of methods for efficient gene editing, with an emphasis on homology-directed repair.
