The siRNA Non-seed Region and Its Target Sequences Are Auxiliary Determinants of Off-Target Effects.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for post-transcriptional gene silencing. However, the siRNA guide strand may bind unintended off-target transcripts via partial sequence complementarity by a mechanism closely mirroring micro RNA (miRNA) silencing. To better understand these off-target effe...
