About GenomeRNAi

GenomeRNAi is a database of phenotypes from RNA interference (RNAi) screens in Drosophila and Homo sapiens. It also provides a resource of RNAi reagents and their predicted quality. Users can search by gene symbol or identifier, RNAi reagent identifier, phenotype term, or screen, using a PubMed ID, first author, or GR stable ID.

The screening data is extracted from the published literature by manual curation. The homepage states that version 17.0, released on 27 November 2017, contains 687 RNAi screens: 478 in human and 209 in Drosophila. The most recent news item on the homepage describes that release.

Key features

  • Search by gene symbol or identifier, including pasted lists of genes
  • Search by RNAi reagent identifier
  • Search by phenotype term
  • Search by screen using PubMed ID, first author, or GR stable ID
  • Browse all screens or frequent hitters

Best for: Researchers who need to look up RNAi screen phenotypes and reagents for Drosophila or human genes.
Good for
  • Covers RNAi screens in both Drosophila and Homo sapiens
  • Allows searches by gene, reagent, phenotype, and screen
Watch out for
  • Records come from published literature extracted by manual curation, so coverage depends on what has been published
