A new guide entitled 'Top Ten Tips for Gene Silencing & Delivery' is
available from AMSBIO. Drawing upon extensive experience of gene silencing
techniques the new guide is aimed at assisting research scientists using or
planning to use gene knockdown as a method of revealing the function of genes
in biological processes.
The informative guide provides expert hints and tips on topics including: How
to determine the RNAi tools best suited to your application ; The importance of
performing appropriate positive and negative controls ; Precautions to minimise
exposure to RNases ; The benefits of using transfection reagents optimised for
siRNA delivery ; How to obtain optimal transfection efficiency ; saving time
with validated siRNA sequences ; The importance in confirming that your siRNA
sequence is unique as well as How to determine the amount of siRNA required to
effectively silence a given gene.
Gene silencing through the use of siRNA has become a primary tool for
characterizing gene involvement in disease states and interactive pathways,
there are several methods for preparing and delivering siRNA. AMSBIO can offer
a variety of tools and services including products for generating siRNA,
validated siRNA expression vectors and oligo sets sets, ready-to-use and custom
Lentivirus particles and tailored siRNA specific transfection reagents.
