RNAi in Whole Animals

The DRSC was originally focused on screening in cells. And we keep going down that path.

But we're moving in a new direction as well. Thanks to the Transgenic RNAi Project (TRiP). 

Shown here, the TRiP fly-pushing stations, which are being used for stock maintenance, making homozygous transgenic lines and more. 

Visit the TRiP site to view a list of available lines

More and more of these will be available at Bloomington soon (some are there already). In the meantime they can be requested from the TRiP directly. You can also read on-line about the TRiP strategy and plans, community nominations for genes TRiP should target, and screening the TRiP lines at the DRSC.
