Design and order libraries of vector-based reagents
- Our online tool offers the flexibility to select clones and generate a library for your unique experimental needs
- Choose vector-based reagents from our algorithm-optimized, predesigned lentiviral product lines of shRNA by Dharmacon™ or from popular mammalian cDNA or ORF gene-expression collections; formatted as glycerol stocks.
- For synthetic reagents, please see instructions for designing synthetic Cherry-pick libraries
- Select specific clones for a gene or add everything available
- Clones will automatically be separated onto different plates by antibiotic resistance marker and reagent format
When Horizon shRNA, or over-expression libraries do not match your experimental requirements, you can make your own custom clone library with ease, speed and economy.
You can cherry-pick from our glycerol stock format shRNA and mammalian over-expression reagents for human and mouse reagents to create the ideal clone collection for your particular needs.
Here's how:
- Load gene identifiers for your desired reagents
- NCBI Gene ID or Gene Symbol
- Library reagent catalog numbers
- Select the reagent type
- Review the results for accuracy and reagent availability
- Select the reagents and reagent formats to include on the plate
- Add to cart and check out!

All reagents are delivered as arrayed glycerol stocks in 96-well plates
- shRNA clones
Select from either: GIPZ, TRIPZ, or TRC lentiviral shRNA collections; minimum 20 constructs per order. We recommend selecting 3-5 constructs per gene. - Over-expression clones
MGC collection: Cannot be mixed with other collections, minimum 20 constructs per order; clones will be plated according to antibiotic requirements - ORF collections
May be combined with other ORF collections to increase coverage for desired library; minimum 20 constructs from a single collection per order. Clones will be plated by collection. (e.g. a customer library of 20 ORFeome collaboration clones and 5 hORFeome v8.1 clones will qualify for library plating, a custom library of 15 ORFeome collaboration clones and 10 hORFeome v8.1 will not)
