One step further towards real high-throughput functional genomics

摘要

In a recent paper by Michiels et al. an important step was made towards genuine high throughput functional genomics. The authors produced an arrayed adenoviral library containing >120 000 cDNAs isolated from human placenta. This library can be used for arrayed transduc-tion of cell lines in phenotypic assays and to screen for genes involved in the induction of any phenotype for which a robust high-throughput assay can be designed.
