RNAi curation

From WormBaseWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

When an RNAi experiment is curated by WormBase, the experimental details are attached to the sequence of the interfering RNA, not directly to the gene name; therefore stating ‚"we did RNAi against unc-22" is not enough information for proper curation. We need to unabigiously assign the sequence used in an experiment. In the above case we are left to guess if you used a genomic sequence for interference (partial or full gene) or a cDNA ‚ (partial, full length which isoform?.
