Expression Arrest™ Drosophila RNAi collections from Open Biosystems target the entire Drosophila genome with RNAi constructs.
These collections are available as:
dsDNA template libraries ready for in vitro transcription reactions and
Ready-to-go dsRNA constructs for high-throughput RNAi experiments.
Both collections were developed in collaboration with the Pat O'Farrell and Ron Vale laboratories at UCSF.
dsDNA template libraries were created by using gene specific primers to amplify 200-800 bases of exonic sequence for each gene. T7 promoter sequences were added to enable dsRNA synthesis in an IVT reaction.
Details
The dsRNA construct library was developed to enable rapid and cost-effective high-throughput RNAi screening in
Drosophila.
In vitro transcription reactions were done on over 15,000 Drosophila genes to produce this set.

A test plate for the
Drosophila dsRNA library is also available. This test plate contains 8 genes with well known RNAi phenotypes as well as a non-silencing control.
