Self-delivering products, designed by the AUMsilence platform

Name the gene, the microRNA, the long non-coding RNA or the viral RNA. The platform designs the sequence, and AUMsilence sdASOs are taken up by endocytosis: add them to the culture medium or inject them. Transfection-optimized and enhanced siRNA versions serve labs that already transfect.

By target and delivery

Every product, by what it targets and how it gets in

Read down for the target and across for the delivery. Every entry is a product with its own page.

FigureHow the three product types differ
How the three product types differ: one strand or two, a carrier or none, RISC or noneThree columns compare the product types by what each one is, how it enters a cell and how it acts. Self-delivering antisense, sdASO, is a single strand that is taken up by endocytosis through a pit in its membrane, with no transfection reagent, and that binds its target RNA for knockdown or steric block. Transfection-optimized antisense, toASO, is the same single strand carried into the cell by a standard transfection reagent, and then acts the same way. Small interfering RNA, siRNA, is a two-stranded RNA duplex carried in by a transfection reagent; its guide strand is loaded into the RISC complex, where Argonaute2 cleaves the target messenger RNA.Self-deliveringantisensesdASO · AUMsilence™ sdASO™Transfection-optimizedantisensetoASO · AUMsilence™ toASO™Small interferingRNAsiRNA · AUMsiRNA™WHAT IT ISthe oligoHOW IT ENTERSTHE CELLcell membraneHOW IT ACTStarget RNAA single strandantisense oligonucleotideA single strandantisense oligonucleotideTwo strandsan RNA duplex: guide and passengerTaken up by endocytosisno transfection reagentEnters with a carriera standard transfection reagentEnters with a carriera standard transfection reagentRISCArgonaute2Binds the target RNAknockdown or steric blockBinds the target RNAknockdown or steric blockGuide strand loads into RISCArgonaute2 cleaves the target mRNA
The three product types side by side. Self-delivering antisense (sdASO) is a single strand that is taken up by endocytosis and that binds its target RNA; transfection-optimized antisense (toASO) is the same single strand, delivered with a standard transfection reagent; AUMsiRNA is a two-stranded RNA duplex, delivered with a transfection reagent, whose guide strand directs Argonaute2 cleavage of the target mRNA inside the RISC complex (Elbashir SM et al., Nature 2001, doi 10.1038/35078107; Liu J et al., Science 2004, doi 10.1126/science.1102513).

The families

Choose the family, then the product

Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides (sdASO)

AUMsilence sdASOs need no transfection reagent, electroporation, or viral vector. They are added to the cell culture or injected in vivo.

  • AUMsilence sdASO

    RNase H1 on a gapmer paired with a messenger RNA inside a cell: the messenger RNA is cut at the enzyme with a gap, and the gapmer stays whole.

    mRNA knockdown

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides for mRNA knockdown in cell lines and difficult-to-transfect primary cells, without a transfection reagent.

  • AUMantagomir sdASO

    A short microRNA paired end to end with one uniform oligonucleotide strand under a warm glow, nothing cut, and an empty Argonaute protein beside the pair.

    miRNA inhibition

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that bind a mature microRNA and inhibit it, in difficult-to-transfect cells.

  • AUMmimic sdASO

    An AUMmimic sdASO held in Argonaute on the 3' untranslated region of a messenger RNA, beside its poly(A) tail. The messenger RNA is repressed, not cleaved.

    miRNA mimic

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that supply a chosen mature microRNA: the replacement counterpart of AUMantagomir sdASO.

  • AUMlnc sdASO

    Inside the nucleus, among chromatin, RNase H1 on a gapmer paired with a long non-coding RNA, which is cut at the enzyme; the gapmer stays whole.

    lncRNA knockdown

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides for knockdown of long non-coding RNA, including nuclear-retained transcripts.

  • AUMsilence V+ sdASO

    RNase H1 on a gapmer paired with a viral RNA, which is cut at the enzyme with a gap; the gapmer stays whole.

    Viral RNA knockdown

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides for knockdown of viral RNA genomes and transcripts, in virology research and antiviral target discovery.

  • AUMblock sdASO

    One uniform oligonucleotide strand paired at the capped start of a messenger RNA, with the two parts of a ribosome held apart above and below it; nothing is cut.

    Blocker

    Steric-blocking self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that bind target RNAs and modulate their function without recruiting RNase H.

  • AUMsplice sdASO

    The spliceosome holding two exons of a pre-messenger RNA together while the exon between them loops out below, one uniform oligonucleotide strand paired on the loop; nothing is cut.

    Exon skipping

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that bind pre-mRNA and redirect splicing, for exon skipping or inclusion.

When to choose self-delivering ASOs (sdASO)

  • Delivery

    No transfection reagent, electroporation, or viral vector needed

  • Difficult-to-transfect cells

    Used in primary cells, neurons, and immune cells

  • In vivo studies

    Can be used in animal models without special delivery formulations

  • Cellular stress

    A transfection reagent can introduce toxicity or alter the cellular response

Choosing between the products

The selection guide asks what the target is and where it has to work, then names the product for that pairing. The comparison table sets the three delivery classes side by side.

Self-delivering

Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides (sdASO)

Antisense oligonucleotides that need no transfection reagent

AUMsilence sdASOs enter cells with no transfection reagent, electroporation, or viral vector: add them to your cell culture or inject them in vivo. Our sdASO technology is powered by the AUMsilence platform, which combines advanced chemical modifications with AI-driven design to create highly effective gene silencing tools.

  • AUMsilence sdASO

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides for mRNA knockdown in cell lines and difficult-to-transfect primary cells, without a transfection reagent.

  • AUMantagomir sdASO

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that bind a mature microRNA and inhibit it, in difficult-to-transfect cells.

  • AUMmimic sdASO

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that supply a chosen mature microRNA: the replacement counterpart of AUMantagomir sdASO.

  • AUMlnc sdASO

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides for knockdown of long non-coding RNA, including nuclear-retained transcripts.

  • AUMsilence V+ sdASO

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides for knockdown of viral RNA genomes and transcripts, in virology research and antiviral target discovery.

  • AUMblock sdASO

    Steric-blocking self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that bind target RNAs and modulate their function without recruiting RNase H.

  • AUMsplice sdASO

    Self-delivering antisense oligonucleotides that bind pre-mRNA and redirect splicing, for exon skipping or inclusion.

Transfection-optimized

Transfection-optimized ASOs (toASO)

The same designs at a lower price

Transfection-optimized ASOs (toASO) are the same designs as AUMsilence sdASOs, at a lower price, delivered with a standard transfection reagent. These products leverage our core AUMsilence platform and AI-driven design, with modifications tailored for excellent performance with common transfection methods. They are used for routine gene silencing in easy-to-transfect cell lines and for high-throughput screening.

  • AUMsilence toASO

    Antisense oligonucleotides designed by the AUMsilence platform, at a lower price, delivered with a standard transfection reagent. Used for high-throughput screening, routine gene silencing in standard cell lines, and academic research where budget constraints exist.

Enhanced siRNA

Enhanced siRNA technology

The proven RNAi pathway, with chemically modified duplexes

AUMsiRNA is chemically enhanced small interfering RNA, for researchers who prefer the familiar RNAi pathway for gene silencing. The duplexes are 21-23 nucleotides and carry chemical modifications that the AUMsilence platform both selects and positions along the sequence, and they keep compatibility with the standard transfection protocols already used in the lab.

  • AUMsiRNA

    Chemically enhanced small interfering RNA for mRNA knockdown through the RISC pathway.

  • AUMsiRNA Pool

    Several siRNAs against different regions of the same mRNA, because which sequence works in a given cell type is not predictable in advance.

  • Custom siRNA

    siRNA for targets the order page does not cover, including genes that are difficult to silence. A scientist takes the request directly.
