Isis Pharmaceuticals (ISIS) is an antisense drug development company focused upon providing direct route from genes to drugs to improve drug discovery productivity for the treatment of genetic disorders or infections. The Company licenses its antisense platform, a specially coded nucleic strands platform to bind to mRNA within human cells.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"The DNA/RNA market is expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2010, with antisense therapy technologies anticipated to generate nearly half the sales generated in 2010. This market's future growth is contingent upon the ability of DNA/RNA therapies to advance a significant number of drug therapies beyond phase III drug trials. The potential market is multi-billion as the technology becomes commercialized next year.

"The Company engages in a new class of pharmaceuticals with the potential of radically transforming methods of treating disease and conditions. The additional advantage of antisense technologies includes eliminating side-effects associated with protein or small-molecule pharmaceuticals dominating the industry. Antisense technologies target individual proteins, thereby raising patient satisfaction, as well. The powerful lure of antisense technologies to pharmaceutical companies is stark, as the delivery of antisense molecules to target specific RNA sequences shortens responses and predictability of intended results."
