  • Publication number: 20030228597
    Abstract: Iterative, preferably computer based iterative processes for generating synthetic compounds capable of modulation of target expression are provided. During iterations of the processes, a target nucleic acid sequence is provided or selected, and a library of candidate nucleobase sequences is generated in silico according to defined criteria. A “virtual” oligonucleotide chemistry is chosen and a library of virtual oligonucleotide compounds having the selected nucleobase sequences is generated. These virtual compounds are reviewed and compounds predicted to have particular properties are selected. The selected compounds are robotically synthesized and are preferably robotically assayed for a desired physical, chemical or biological activity. Compounds exhibiting the ability to modulate target expression are identified as target modulators.
