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. Another ongoing research program, arising from our Morpholino delivery program, is the development of non-Morpholino diagnostic and therapeutic agents for cancer.

Morpholino oligos and the subunits used in their assembly are covered by multiple pending and issued US and international patents owned by AVI BioPharma (formerly ANTIVIRALS Inc.), the pioneer antisense company founded by James Summerton in 1980. Gene Tools has the exclusive worldwide license to market research quantities of Morpholino oligos. In Japan, Funakoshi Co. is the distributor of Morpholino oligos and related products.
