Androgen Receptor & Prostate Cancer. From fly RNAi screen to human cell follow-up. Breaking report.

On my desk to read this President's Day? This report of a genome-wide RNAi screen performed with the NYU RNAi Core using the DRSC 2.0 genome-wide library.

Imberg-Kazdan K, Ha S, Greenfield A, Poultney CS, Bonneau R, Logan SK, Garabedian MJ. A genome-wide RNA interference screen identifies new regulators of androgen receptor function in prostate cancer cells. Genome Res. 2013 Feb 12. PubMed PMID: 23403032.

Kinases & Phophatases

The list associated with the DRSC Kinases & Phosphatases library has been updated.

The downloadable spreadsheet now indicates which genes encode known or predicted kinases, and which encode known or predicted phosphatases. The new list also shows the updated FlyBase IDs (FBgn Numbers) and gene symbols, along with the IDs and symbols that appeared on the older version of the list. The library has close to 3 unique reagents per gene.

On the assay plates themselves, the two categories are mixed up together so it's not possible to screen just kinases or just phosphatases (we get asked that fairly often).

Web Wednesday: Antibodies against Drosophila Antigens

Just got notification of new additions in the set of antibodies against Drosophila antigens present in the collection at the Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank. Take a look.

Bloomington Resources Paper

What's on my desk to read today? A new paper from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (BDSC) that includes information about resources from the TRiP (in vivo RNAi) that are available at the BDSC:

Cook et al. (2010) New research resources at the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center. Fly. 4(1):1-4.

RNAi & Cancer Study

Local to Boston? Please check out information about the newly formed Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) RNAi Core, which brings together local experts, resources and facilities to better serve the DF/HCC cancer research community.

Boola Boola

About a year ago, James Rothman and Lars Branden from Yale visited the DRSC. As part of a larger tour they took of similar centers. As planned, they have now opened the doors to the Yale Center for High Throughput Cell Biology. Best wishes for success!

Breaking News--NIH requests info about Core Facilities

If you're at an NIH core facility--make use of one or more--you might be interested to respond to a recent Request for Information by the NIH.
