Abstract: In recent years, siRNA technology and application have attracted 
much attention in life sciences. This paper intends to explore the 
dynamics of the interaction of siRNA fundamental research and its 
technology application. Publication and patent data on siRNA were 
collected from ISI Web of Science and Derwent Innovation Index. Thomson 
Data Analyzer was used to do the bibliometric analysis. The analytical 
result shows a steady growth in outputs in the form of patents and 
publications since 2001. Top organizations and clusters on main siRNA 
research and application are identified. Existing links between 
fundamental research and patenting activities are also found from the 
comparison study.
