GenomeRNAi is a database containing phenotypes from RNA
interference (RNAi) screens in Drosophila and
Homo sapiens. In addition, the database provides an updated resource
of RNAi reagents and their
predicted quality.
RNAi screening data is extracted from the literature by manual curation.
GenomeRNAi v17 released27 November, 2017
GenomeRNAi version 17.0 contains a total of 687 RNAi screen: 478 in human and in 209 Drosophila. In order to facilitate the submission and release process, from now it is possible to visualize submitted screens and publications also before the new database version is released. For performance and availability, We switched from DAS to the currently popular bioinformatics file formats bigbed and 2bit in the Genome browser.
Many thanks to Falkenberg et al. that submitted a screen on an anti-cancer agent sensitivity and to all the users of GenomeRNAi that sent us feedbacks and reactions.
