Most existing siRNA design tools were trained on datasets assembled from confined origins, incompatible with the diverse siRNA laboratory practice to which these tools will ultimately be applied. We have performed an updated analysis using the disjunctive rule merging (DRM) approach on a large and diverse dataset compiled from siRecords, and implemented the resulting rule sets in siDRM, a new online siRNA design tool. siDRM also implements a few high-sensitivity rule sets and fast rule sets, links to siRecords, and uses several filters to check unwanted detrimental effects, including innate immune responses, cell toxic effects and off-target activities in selecting siRNAs. A performance comparison using an independent dataset indicated that siDRM outperforms 19 existing siRNA design tools in identifying effective siRNAs.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: \u00a0siDRM can be accessed at http:\/\/siRecords.umn.edu\/siDRM\/.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0toli@biocompute.umn.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btn442","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,22]],"date-time":"2008-08-22T00:33:56Z","timestamp":1219365236000},"page":"2405-2406","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["<i>siDRM<\/i>: an effective and generally applicable online siRNA design tool"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Wuming","family":"Gong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongliang","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yejun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuli","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tongbin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020211255387300_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.1124\/mol.105.014258","article-title":"Altered expression of G(q\/11 alpha) protein shapes mGlu1 and mGlu5 receptor-mediated single cell inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and Ca(2+) signaling","volume":"69","author":"Atkinson","year":"2006","journal-title":"Mol Pharmacol"},{"key":"2023020211255387300_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1038\/nmeth854","article-title":"3' UTR seed matches, but not overall identity, are associated with RNAi off-targets","volume":"3","author":"Birmingham","year":"2006","journal-title":"Nat.
