Genome-wide Screen for miRNA Targets Using the MISSION Target ID Library

Matthew J. Coussens^*1, Kevin Forbes^*1, Carol Kreader^*1, Jack Sago¹, Carrie Cupp¹, John Swarthout¹

The Target ID Library is a plasmid-based, genome-wide collection of cloned cDNA used to identify miRNA targets. Here we demonstrate its use and application.

MISSION LentiPlex Pooled shRNA Library Screening in Mammalian Cells

Matthew J. Coussens¹, Courtney Corman¹, Ashley L. Fischer¹, Jack Sago¹, John Swarthout¹

¹Sigma-Aldrich

Here we use a human LentiPlex pooled library and traditional sequencing methods to identify gene targets promoting cell survival. We demonstrate how to set up and deconvolute a LentiPlex screen and validate the results.
