shRNAmir libraries

increased and specific knockdown
 The Expression Arrest™ microRNA-adapted shRNA (shRNAmir) libraries were developed in collaboration with Greg Hannon (CSHL) and Steve Elledge (Harvard). shRNAmir triggers for mammalian RNAi are based on current knowledge of the endogenous microRNA biogenesis pathway. shRNAmir constructs are designed to mimic a natural microRNA primary transcript, enabling specific processing by the endogenous RNAi pathway and producing more effective knockdown.  In addition each gene-specific shRNAmir sequence has been selected based on thermodynamic criteria for optimal small RNA performance (Silva et al 2005). 

shRNAmir libraries incorporate several features aimed at increasing the efficiency and specificity of gene knockdown providing solutions for diverse RNAi applications. These include:
shRNAmir libraries targeting the human and mouse whole genomes are available as: 
       pSM2 Retroviral shRNAmir 
       pGIPZ Lentiviral shRNAmir
 
Individual shRNAmir constructs, RNAintro starter kits, gene families/pathways, custom rearrays and whole genome libraries are available.
