FAIRsharing record for: LINCS Pilot Phase 1 Metadata Standards: RNAi Reagents

This FAIRsharing record describes: The LINCS Pilot Phase 1 metadata standards annotate reagents outside the context of the experiments in which they were used. RNA interference is a standard methodology to transiently knock down gene expression in living cells. This can be achieved using different types of small RNA molecules, including siRNA, shRNA, and miRNA. Information that is relevant to identify and describe these perturbations include probe ID, name, source/provider, target gene symbol and accession number, sequence of the probe, and modifications to the probe (e.g., chemical modification) if any are specified.
