RNAi

Phenotypic loss-of-function RNAi screens with complex lentiviral-based shRNA expression libraries that target and silence several thousand genes provide a realistic and workable approach to identify genes that functionally modulate a cellular response such as viability of cancer cells or apoptosis. As long as the shRNA libraries are properly constructed so that hairpin representation is well characterized and reasonably constrained, and changes in shRNA representation in selected vs.
