About TRiP stocks

 

TRiPSoma - For effective RNAi in somatic cells.

  • 1st generation stocks that were made in the VALIUM1 and VALIUM10 vectors using our long double-stranded hairpin approach.
  • 2nd generation stocks constructed in the VALIUM20 vector using short hairpin microRNA technology.

TRiPGermline - For effective RNAi in germline cells.

  • 2nd generation stocks made in the VALIUM20 and VALIUM22 vectors (also VALIUM21 - a variant of VALIUM22).
  • VALIUM20 is effective in both the soma and germline. VALIUM22 and VALIUM21 are exceptional vectors for germline expression of RNAi, but not for the soma.

To learn more about the vector and hairpin design for the TRiP RNAi lines please visit the TRiP in vivo RNAi approach page and the TRiP plasmid vector sets page.

 

HMJ2 stock instability

All TRiP stocks should be both y+ and v+. The y+ marks the presence of the integration site, while the v+ marks the presence of the UAS-hairpin. A small number of TRiP stocks-those that begin with the prefix HMJ2-have an unstable integration site, and so occasionally lose the y+ marker. This problem was later solved, so other HMJ lines behave normally. Please note that the BDSC does not maintain HMJ2 stocks. They are only available through the Fly Stocks of the National Institute of Genetics, Japan (NIG-Fly). If you intend to use an HMJ2 stock the TRiP recommends that you first select only y+ v+ flies for your experiments.
