RNAi
Overview
Gene silencing through RNAi has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding gene function. Over the past several years, high-throughput RNAi screens have illuminated a wide variety of biology ranging from genes that affect the activity of therapeutic agents to elucidating novel components of signaling pathways. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently established a state-of-the-art RNAi screening facility that is now soliciting proposals from any intramural researcher. This facility assists with all stages of projects beginning with assay development through genome-wide siRNA screens, informatics/pathway analysis, and rigorous follow-up. Genome-wide siRNA screens for both human and mouse are available. Also routinely included in screens are miRNA mimic and inhibitor libraries.
