Sub-genomewide shRNAs constructed using an optimized selection algorithm and microRNA backbone provide stronger evidence for follow-up studies

ABSTRACT: Sub-genomewide shRNA libraries were constructed using the current RNAi consortium constructs as well as using the DSIR (siRNA algoirthm) and a novel shRNA specific algorithm (shERWOOD). All libraries were placed into mir30 expression vectors. The shERWOOD libraries were also placed in a vector harboring an optimized mir cassette (ultramir). Each library was screened using the pancreatic cell line A385. A concensus set of essential genes identified as the set for which two shRNAs depleted in each of the libries. For these genes, a great percentage of shERWOOD seletected shRNA depleted. In addition the placement of shERWOOD selected constructs into ultramir scaffoled increased the rate of shRNA depletion for essential genes further.
