3D culturing is a valuable and increasingly popular cell culture technique. This model recapitulates some physiological characteristics of tissues and tumors driven by cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts, circumventing the need for in vivo experiments in some cases.
A study where we have employed orthogonal target validation strategies with 3 orthogonal LOF technologies (CRISPRko, CRISPRi, and siRNA) with genes involved in maintenance of the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET).
Reliable and consistent quality reagents are critical to experimental success and reproducibility. Learn about how Dharmacon RNA and DNA oligonucleotide synthesis delivers that level of quality, and explore troubleshooting tips for investigating unexpected results in your experiments.
The presence of off-targets effects can greatly complicate the interpretation of experimental data. Dharmacon™ ON-TARGETplus™ siRNAs and CRISPRmod CRISPRi system are designed to knock down the target gene with minimal off-target effects and are powerful tools for orthogonal validation strategies resulting in highly specific readouts.
CRISPR gene editing and siRNA gene silencing require the efficient delivery of the necessary reagents. This is easily achieved by optimizing delivery conditions. In this blog post we discuss techniques for optimization of a reverse transfection conditions and how to set up a 96 well plate to test 30 transfection conditions.
Accell siRNA has been widely literature-cited for gene silencing in primary immune cells, which have historically been difficult to transfect. Learn more here.
Learn how ON-TARGETplus siRNA from Dharmacon ensures target specificity while avoiding off-target effects to give you confidence in your RNAi studies.
Want to optimize RNAi experiments in difficult-to-transfect cell lines? Read our workflow recommendations for optimal delivery and functional silencing with Accell siRNA.
Large-scale gain-of-function screens have not yet shown the same popularity as loss-of function experiments, mainly due to logistical complications of using the traditional reagents (ORFs). Here we explain the hurdles to setting up a high-throughput ORF screen, and how CRISPRa offers a new solution that can expand the screening toolbox to maximize your window of discovery.
