Oligonucleotide compositions with enhanced efficiency
First Claim
1. A composition comprising a combination of double-stranded oligonucleotides, the combination consisting of three or more different double-stranded oligonucleotides in equimolar concentrations,wherein each double-stranded oligonucleotide is targeted to a different sequence within a single target gene,each double-stranded oligonucleotide consists of two separate strands,each strand is between 15 and 40 nucleomonomers in length;
- wherein the combination is capable of RNA interference (RNAi).
