Cold Spring Harb Protoc. 2017 Sep 1;2017(9):pdb.top097550. doi: 10.1101/pdb.top097550.

Abstract

This introduction briefly describes the types of RNAi libraries (both shRNA-based and double-stranded siRNA-based) that are available for understanding diverse biological questions and then discusses recent advances in RNAi screening methodologies in mouse, rat, humans, Drosophila, and worms.
