Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

Genome-Wide RNAi Analysis of Growth and Viability in Drosophila Cells

Michael Boutros, +11 more
- 06 Feb 2004 - 
TL;DR: A high-throughput RNA-interference screen of 19,470 double-stranded RNAs in cultured cells to characterize the function of nearly all predicted Drosophila genes in cell growth and viability found 438 dsRNAs that identified essential genes, among which 80% lacked mutant alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cell self-renewal specified by JAK-STAT activation in response to a support cell cue.

Amy A. Kiger, +4 more
- 21 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the apical hub cells in the Drosophila testis act as a cellular niche that supports stem cell self-renewal and continual maintenance of the germ line stem cell population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimizing the risk of reporting false positives in large-scale RNAi screens

C Echeverri, +24 more
- 01 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: This Commentary is an invitation to an open discussion started among various users of RNAi to set forth accepted standards that would insure the quality and accuracy of information in the large datasets coming out of genome-scale screens.
