title: The use of nucleic acid tools for target validation in central nervous system therapy.
abstract: The main challenge facing target validation today comes from the ongoing genomics revolution, which is generating an unprecedented number of potential targets. Existing technologies, such as mouse knockouts, are struggling to provide the throughput now required. Nucleic acid tools including antisense, RNA interference, ribozymes and aptamers offer a potentially higher throughput means of manipulating gene expression and thus validating targets in complex biological systems such as the central nervous system.
