Minimal-length short hairpin RNAs: the relationship of structure and RNAi activity

Q Ge, H Ilves, A Dallas, P Kumar, J Shorenstein… - Rna, 2010 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
Small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) are widely used in RNAi studies and typically consist of a stem
of 19–29 base pairs (bp), a loop of at least 4 nucleotides (nt), and a dinucleotide overhang …

Effects of chemical modification on the potency, serum stability, and immunostimulatory properties of short shRNAs

Q Ge, A Dallas, H Ilves, J Shorenstein, MA Behlke… - Rna, 2010 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
Small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) with 19-base-pair, or shorter, stems (short shRNAs [sshRNAs])
