sdRNA algorithm accurately predicts efficacy using two independent datasets. The sdRNA (24%/NF) algorithm was applied to predict the efficacy of (A) 50 sdRNAs targeting five genes (qPCR, sdRNAs inducing ∼ <25% target gene expression are defined as functional). sdRNA algorithm predicts efficacy with ∼60% accuracy at ∼30% sensitivity. (B) 94 sdRNAs targeting the huntingtin gene (QuantiGene (34), sdRNAs inducing ∼ <25% target gene expression are defined as functional). sdRNA algorithm predicts efficacy with ∼80% accuracy at ∼25% sensitivity. Black line shows performance of the control algorithm (see Methods).
