Cellecta offers a novel, free public resource for genome-wide RNAi screens – DECIPHER pooled lentiviral shRNA libraries (www.decipherproject.net). Using a combination of in vitro and ex vivo RNAi screening strategies, we have identified and validated hundreds of key viability genes in oncogenic cells.
