INTRODUCTIONThe mechanism of RNA interference has emerged as a practical tool to study loss of function in many organisms. To make the method of gene knockdown suitable for mammalian cells, short interfering double-stranded RNAs (siRNAs) need to be applied. This protocol describes a straightforward, low-cost method, which uses recombinant Escherichia coli RNase III to digest long dsRNA into endoribonuclease-prepared short interfering RNAs (esiRNAs). Advantages of this technology are the high efficiency and specificity of the resulting esiRNA and its usefulness for not only small-scale applications, but also high-throughput loss-of-function analyses. Another great asset of esiRNA is its flexibility in design, using Web-based tools such as DEQOR, or predesigned esiRNA sequences from the database RiDDLE. PCR products flanked with T7 promoter sequences are generated, transcribed, and annealed. The resulting long dsRNA is enzymatically digested into a pool of overlapping esiRNAs, which are subsequently spin-column-purified.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
