DRSC Functional Genomics Resources (DRSC-FGR) began as the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC), founded by Prof. Norbert Perrimon in 2003, and the Transgenic RNAi Project (TRiP), founded by Prof. Perrimon in 2008.
We have since grown into a functional genomics platform meeting the needs of the Drosophila and broader community by providing:
high-throughput production platforms
cell-based RNAi screen reagents
on-site cell-based and in vivo screening by local or visiting researchers
Our reagents fall into two main categories, those for Drosophila cell culture and those for in vivo studies, and include two main technologies, RNAi and CRISPR applications. We also have reagents relevant to the study of miRNAs and for overexpression of open reading frames (ORFs).
This page will be a portal that pulls together information about cell-based RNAi (publications, people, news stories/blog posts, tools, assays, reagents, protocols, etc.
