Design Notes

We run thermodynamic tests for mRNA secondary structures with NUPACK and ViennaRNA to ensure its minimal free energy is in an appropriate range (lower than 0 kcal/mole)


Source

This is a synthetic sequence based upon Green, A.A. et al. and Pardee, K. et al. for detection of miRNA-21. We obtained this sequence through custom gene synthesis of IDT.
