Discussion and file folder for RNAi stuff. I know of only one company that is a public, pure play, and will attach an unmanaged portfolio. That company is RNAI, the revamped RZYM. Another player is QGENF, but it is hardly pure. Private companies include suppliers Imgenex, Ambion, Novagen, and Dharmacon, as well as therapeutic competitor to RNAI, Anlynam.
