Abstract
RNAi is a powerful reverse genetics tool that has revolutionized genetic studies in model organisms. The bacteriovorous nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can be genetically manipulated by feeding it an Escherichia coli strain that expresses a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) corresponding to a C. elegans gene, which leads to systemic silencing of the gene. This unit describes protocols for performing an automated high-throughput RNAi screen utilizing a full-genome C. elegans RNAi library. The protocols employ liquid-handling robotics and 96-well plates. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
RNAi筛选:秀丽隐杆线虫的自动高通量液体RNAi筛选
RNAi是一种强大的反向遗传学工具,它已经彻底改变了模式生物的遗传研究。通过给线虫喂食一种表达与秀丽隐杆线虫基因相对应的双链RNA (dsRNA)的大肠杆菌菌株,可以对其进行遗传操纵,从而导致该基因的系统性沉默。本单元描述了使用全基因组秀丽隐杆线虫RNAi文库执行自动化高通量RNAi筛选的协议。该方案采用液体处理机器人和96孔板。©2018 by John Wiley &儿子,Inc。
