Depositor Comments

The siRNA sequence for use in PRDM16 depletion experiments was 5'-GAAGAGCGUGAGUACAAAU-3'. The corresponding double-stranded DNA sequence was ligated into pSUPER-Retro (GFP-Neo) (OligoEngine) for retroviral shRNA expression. This siRNA sequence was able to specifically knock down PRDM16 protein and mRNA expression by over 75%.
