Designing Controls for siRNA Experiments

Because of its apparent specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use, RNAi technology is greatly accelerating the functional characterization of disease-relevant genes for drug discovery, target validation, and basic research efforts. To ensure the validity of RNAi...

RNAi: The Controls You Need

Ambion scientists use and recommend a number of different controls for siRNA experiments. Most of these coincide with the suggested controls detailed in an editorial published in Nature Cell Biology [1]. Here we outline these various controls and discuss the importance of each in RNAi experiments....

RNase Activity in Mouse Tissue: Classification, Hierarchy, and Methods for Control

RNase activity varies dramatically across different tissues. A comparison of total RNase activities for 8 different mouse tissues showed that total RNase activity spans a 181,000-fold range from pancreas to brain (Figure 1), which highlights the level of RNase control required for succ...
