Developing the appropriate and sensitive cell based assay together with the choice of methodology for hit nomination in random RNAi screening remain the main challenges as well as pitfalls for the technology. Automated microscopy-based assays offer the provision and availability of an image allowing visual inspection for acceptance or complete rejection of a perturbed phenotype caused by a given RNAi molecule in an arrayed screen.
