Entropy Reduction of Activity Data with siRNA Classification Methods

Dataset Classification Entropy Entropy Reduction
Shabalina [30] None 3.32 N/A
Terminal Nucleotide 2.92 0.40
ΔΔG (1 nn) 3.07 0.25
ΔΔG (2 nn) 3.09 0.23
ΔΔG (3 nn) 3.10 0.22
ΔΔG (4 nn) 3.16 0.16
Novartis [31] None 3.32 N/A
Terminal Nucleotide 3.07 0.25
ΔΔG (1 nn) 3.16 0.16
ΔΔG (2 nn) 3.19 0.13
ΔΔG (3 nn) 3.23 0.09
ΔΔG (4 nn) 3.23 0.09

All ΔΔG calculations include an AU end penalty [63]. nn - nearest neighbor.
