Gene Tools, LLC produces and markets Morpholino oligos for antisense applications and ancillary products for basic research. We are also engaged in research relating to delivery of Morpholino oligos into cells and use of Morpholino oligos as probes and in diagnostic systems.

Morpholino oligos and the subunits used in their assembly were invented and developed at AVI BioPharma (formerly ANTIVIRALS Inc.), the pioneer antisense company founded by James Summerton in 1980. Gene Tools manufactures and markets research quantities of Morpholino oligos. In Japan, Funakoshi Co. is the distributor of Morpholino oligos and related products.
