Lincode Non-targeting Control siRNAs are ideal negative controls for RNAi experiments for knockdown of human long, noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Each of the four available Lincode Non-targeting siRNAs are designed to leverage seed-region optimization and proprietary dual-strand modification patterns to have fewer off-targets than traditionally designed negative control siRNAs. Changes in cells treated with these controls reflect a baseline cellular response that can be compared to the levels in cells treated with target-specific siRNA.
These controls are identical to the ON-TARGETplus Non-targeting siRNAs 1-4 (Cat# D-001810-01, -02, -03, -04). They are also being sold under the Lincode name for ease of ordering by customers new to RNAi. Either catalog item is suitable for Lincode and ON-TARGETplus siRNA experiments.

Lincode siRNAs are modified with a proprietary dual-strand modification that improves siRNA functionality. Additionally, off-targets are reduced due to:
A positive control pool of four siRNAs targeting the GAS5 long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in human cells. Includes patented dual-strand modifications to minimize off-target effects. Useful for determination of optimal RNAi conditions.
