On this page:  esiRNA Technical Overview (921 Kb PDF) MISSION® esiRNA MISSION esiRNA provides RNAi researchers with a proven, cost-effective, and simple way to perform RNAi screens. MISSION esiRNAs are endoribonuclease-prepared siRNA pools comprised of a heterogeneous mixture of siRNAs that all target the same mRNA sequence. These multiple silencing triggers lead to highly specific and effective gene silencing with lower off-target effects than single or pooled siRNAs. Product Offerings Individual esiRNA — esiRNAs provided in tubes at either 20 ug or 50 ug quantities targeting human and mouse genes esiFLEX esiRNA — esiRNAs provided in 96-well customized plates at either 1 ug or 2.5 ug targeting human and mouse genes Plated esiRNA — esiRNAs provided in 96-well customized plates at either 20 ug or 50 ug quantities targeting human and mouse genes Genome Scale esiRNA Libraries — Two Genome-scale collections of individual esiRNAs including 16,744 human or 14,068 mouse esiRNAs at either 1 ug or 2.5 ug quantities in 384-well plates Long Non-Coding RNA esiRNA Libraries — Two esiRNA libraries targeting non-coding transcripts including 643 esiRNAs from the mouse genome and 1,245 esiRNAs from the human genome.. esiOPEN esiRNA — Custom esiRNAs targeting the species specific 500 base pair gene sequence provided, supplied in tubes at either 20 μg or 50 μg quantities esiSEC esiRNA — Secondary independent esiRNA for any human and mouse primary esiRNA, supplied in tubes at either 20 μg or 50 μg quantities How are MISSION esiRNAs prepared? esiRNA or Endoribonuclease-prepared siRNAs are pools of siRNAs resulting from cleavage of long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) with Escherichia coli RNase III. Please see Figure 1.
Figure 1: Overview of MISSION esiRNA Production.
Note: This is for the production of an individual esiRNA (click image to enlarge). Generation of PCR products The template for in vitro transcription is generated by PCR amplification of the cDNA from the clone using primers specific for the vector backbone or target-specific primers appended with RNA-Polymerase promoter sequences. The PCR product is sequence verified. The amplified region is selected based on the highest possible number of highly effective siRNA based on the DEQOR siRNA design program. MISSION esiRNA are designed to cover all known transcript variants of the target gene. In vitro transcription and the production of long dsRNA The PCR product generated from the cDNA is used for in vitro transcription reactions. The dsRNA is produced utilizing RNA Polymerases and the two single RNA strands are subsequently annealed before digestion. Enzymatic digestion The long dsRNA is enzymatically digested to short dsRNAs. This digestion produces complex pools of siRNA-like molecules. Purification of digested dsRNA The digestion is then purified to remove any remaining DNA template, unincorporated nucleotides, and dsRNAs longer than approximately 40 bp. This purification step results in MISSION esiRNAs with an average length of 21 bp. MISSION esiRNAs Since the starting material is cDNA, each MISSION esiRNA is guaranteed to target a real gene, no more wasted time on assays for "predicted" genes that do not actually exist. MISSION esiRNA are a heterogeneous mixture of siRNAs that all target the same mRNA sequence. These multiple silencing triggers lead to highly specific and effective gene silencing. esiRNA video tutorial for RNAi Screening in Mammalian Cells esiRNA FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Benefits
MISSION esiRNA and MISSION esiFLEX are available individually, as custom arrayed panels, or genome scale libraries that target both human and mouse genes.
Click here to view additional esiRNA product information. Individual esiRNA Our individual esiRNAs are ideal for the biological characterization of single genes. Currently, we offer esiRNAs targeting 16.744 human and 14.068 mouse transcripts at quantities of either 20 µg or 50 µg normalized to 200 ng/µl; larger scales are available upon inquiry. All esiRNAs are designed based on sequence annotations from ENSEMBL database and packaged in single tubes. Plated esiRNA esiRNAs provided in 96-well customized plates at quantities of either 20 ug or 50 ug normalized to 200 ng/µl. Currently, we offer esiRNAs targeting 16.744 human and 14,068 mouse transcripts. Plate orders at the 20 ug scale must have ≥10 targets and ≤10 at the 50 ug scale. Genome Scale esiRNA Libraries Our genome scale esiRNA libraries are state-of-the-art RNAi reagents especially suitable for large-scale loss-of-function screening. Genome-scale collections of individual esiRNAs for human and mouse species are available. Currently, we offer a human library composed of 16.744 esiRNA and a mouse library with 14.068 esiRNAs. All esiRNAs are designed based on sequence annotations from the ENSEMBL database. The libraries are delivered in 384-well plates with all positions occupied at either 1 µg or 2.5 µg quantities normalized to 50 ng/µl. Other quantities, custom arrays or other plate formats are available upon inquiry. esiFLEX esiRNA Our esiFLEX sub-genomic collections of esiRNAs provide a convenient small scale option with plate position customization. We provide esiFLEX for human and mouse species and offer 16,744 human and 14,068 mouse esiRNAs in our portfolio. The esiFLEX libraries are provided in 96-well plates at either 1 µg or 2.5 µg quantities normalized to 50 ng/µl. The position of each esiRNA on the plates can freely be chosen. Other quantities, concentrations or plate formats are available upon inquiry. All esiRNAs are designed based on sequence annotations from the ENSEMBL database. Minimum order of 24 targets required. esiOPEN esiRNA esiOPEN provides access to fully flexible custom-targeting esiRNAs. Provide any transcript-sequence (minimum 500 bp) regardless of the species and an esiRNA will be synthesized against the best target-region (determined by DEQOR) that lies within the provided sequence to ensure maximum efficiency and specificity. esiOPEN esiRNAs are offered at either 20 µg or 50 µg scales normalized to 200 ng/µl and packaged in single tubes. Larger scales are available upon inquiry. esiSEC esiRNA esiSEC provides secondary independent silencing triggers for any primary esiRNA in our portfolio. esiSEC are used for the validation of RNAi-phenotypes induced by our primary esiRNAs. esiSEC esiRNAs are offered at either 20 µg or 50 µg scales normalized to 200 ng/µl and packaged in single tubes. Larger scales are available upon inquiry. All esiRNAs are designed based on sequence annotations from the ENSEMBL database. esiRNA Ordering Information Individual esiRNAs For all other esiRNA product offerings:
