Using a Cellecta-made shRNA library, groups from the European Institute of Oncology and MD Anderson Cancer Center published the first in vivo pooled RNAi screen in patient-derived tumor xenograft PDX mouse models. The study published in June Cancer Discovery screened 236 epigenetic genes targeted with a pooled shRNA...

The ability to identify and quantify the size of clonal cell populations produced by each cell in a founder population offers researchers a powerful tool for understanding how groups cells grow and proliferate in all sorts of conditions. This sort of clonal cell tracking enables cell biologists,...

Inducible expression is often desirable for functional genetic testing to establish clear cause and effect for a specific phenotype. A particular phenotype can be demonstrably linked to expression of a specific cDNA by showing it disappears when transcription is suppressed. Although less direct, similar logic...
