The mouse retroviral shRNA
mir genome-wide library covers
~28,000 mouse genes with multiple constructs/gene. Currently the library
consists of 61,000 shRNA
mir constructs and broadly covers the
mouse genome. The library will continue to grow, adding deeper coverage
to genes currently represented and adding the few genes not already
represented.
The mouse library can be purchased as individual releases 2.3-2.16 or
the entire library (subscription). Each individual release contains~
4800 constructs randomly arranged into 96 well microtiter plates. The
mouse retroviral shRNA
mir library has been functionally
annotated into biologically relevant gene families and pathways. The pie
chart shows coverage by functional group (Silva et al 2005).
