PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Morpholino Antisense Oligos

We supply the developmental biology research community with Morpholino antisense oligos. Morpholinos are used to knock down gene expression and block pre-mRNA splicing events (see the key zebrafish references below). Morpholinos are superior for microinjection over other antisense structural types as they are non-toxic in embryos, have predictable targeting and excellent sequence specificity with minimal non-antisense activity. Gene Tools provides a free Morpholino oligo design service for its customers. Contact us for details.
