title: VIRsiRNApred: a web server for predicting inhibition efficacy of siRNAs targeting human viruses. creator: Qureshi, Abid creator: Thakur, Nishant creator: Kumar, Manoj subject: QR Microbiology description: Selection of effective viral siRNA is an indispensable step in the development of siRNA based antiviral therapeutics. Despite immense potential, a viral siRNA efficacy prediction algorithm is still not available. Moreover, performances of the existing general mammalian siRNA efficacy predictors are not satisfactory for viral siRNAs. Therefore, we have developed "VIRsiRNApred" a support vector machine (SVM) based method for predicting the efficacy of viral siRNA. publisher: BMC part of Springer Nature date: 2013-12-11 type: Article type: PeerReviewed relation: https://translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1479-5876-11-305 identifier: Qureshi, Abid and Thakur, Nishant and Kumar, Manoj (2013) VIRsiRNApred: a web server for predicting inhibition efficacy of siRNAs targeting human viruses.
