NEW SUPPLIERS

AUM BioTech - Self-Transfecting FANA Oligos for Gene Silencing and Regulation

AUM BioTech offers self-transfecting/delivering oligos that do not need transfection or delivery agents for cellular uptake. AUM's next generation FANA technology offers a potent, non-toxic, stable, efficient and cost effective gene silencing solution. FANA oligos have increased resistance to degradation by serum and cellular nucleases and provide enhanced duration of activity. AUM oligos can be used to silence or regulate mRNA, miRNA or long non coding RNAs.

  • AUMsilence: Oligos are especially designed for gene knock down studies in difficult to transfect cells (especially primary cells) and animal models. Highly recommended as a replacement for siRNAs or other antisense approaches. 
     
  • AUMantagomir: Oligos serve as potent antagomirs by binding with miRNAs and prevent their hybridization with their target mRNAs. Highly recommended as a replacement for LNAs or other antisense approaches. 
     
  • AUMlnc: Oligos achieve potent RNase H-mediated cleavage of the target long non-coding RNA.
     
  • AUMfish: Oligos for RNA silencing and regulation studies in fish models. Highly recommended as a replacement for morpholinos or other antisense approaches. 

AUM oligos also come in basic formats that can be used with transfection reagents for easy to transfect cells.
