On the art of identifying effective and specific siRNAs.

abstract：:Optimism about biomedicine is challenged by the increasingly complex ethical, legal and social issues it raises. Reporting of scientific methods is no longer sufficient to address the complex relationship between science and society. To promote 'ethical reproducibility', we call for transparent reporting of research e...
