The RNAi Consortium is also known as TRC. It is a public-private partnership whose aim is to create libraries of small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) for 15'000 human and 15'000 mouse genes. These are the libraries which helps the scientific community to analyse gene function by RNAi.


The RNAi Platform is directed by David Root, a physical chemist with significant experience in cell-based screening and building lentiviral-based libraries.

The platform's major activities include:
Library production
Library screening
Library performance
Library development
Informatics
