ABSTRACT

Application of siRNA in high-throughput fashion is still in its early phase although the principle has been established for three years. In this review, we outline the different vector-based siRNA delivery platforms as well as resources that are becoming available for high-throughput applications, and some initial outcomes of vector siRNA high-throughput screening efforts using vector encoded siRNA. It is expected that further im-provement of the siRNA technology and availability of the siRNA resources will help to materialize the po-tential of siRNA for functional genomics and drug target validation.
