Yeast RNAi System

The Yeast RNAi system is a powerful tool for yeast rapid metabolic engineering. Creative BioMart's yeast RNAi system construction service provides a complete and customizable solution for researchers who need to study gene function or design yeast strains with the desired traits. Our services include RNAi construction design, cloning, transformation, screening, and validation, as well as necessary optimization. With our professional knowledge and cutting-edge technology, customers can confidently obtain high-quality and reliable results.

Our services can also be customized according to the specific needs and goals of each project. We can design and construct RNAi constructs that target single or multiple genes, and we can optimize expression conditions to achieve the best possible results. In addition, we regularly update project progress and work closely with clients to ensure their satisfaction and success.

Process of Yeast RNAi System Design Service

Step Description
Development of the experimental plan We work closely with customers to understand their specific needs and goals for yeast metabolic engineering. We provide guidance and optimization for experimental design, and provide recommendations for specific metabolic pathways.
Design and construction of RNAi We use cutting-edge bioinformatics tools to design RNAi constructs specifically targeting key genes in metabolic pathways of interest. Our RNAi constructs are designed for efficiency and specificity, ensuring maximum knockout of target genes. Then synthesize the RNAi construct and clone it into a suitable vector for expression in yeast.
Transforming the vector into yeast cells Our expert team used a variety of methods to effectively transform RNAi constructs into yeast cells, including electroporation, chemical transformation and viral vector. We optimize the conversion method for each experiment based on the specific requirements of the customer.
Screening and validation We used a combination of high-throughput analysis methods, including metabolomics and flowomics, to screen for metabolic flux changes in yeast strains produced. We also validated the knockout of target genes using qPCR and other gene expression analysis methods.
Optimization We work closely with clients to optimize metabolic pathways of interest, utilizing the RNAi system to identify key regulatory genes and fine-tune metabolic flux. Our expert team provides guidance and support throughout the optimization process to ensure that customers achieve the desired results
Deliverable We provide customers with the final RNAi-optimized yeast strains, as well as any relevant technical report and data analysis.

Featured Service - Hairpin RNA (hpRNA) Expression Cassettes Construction

hpRNA is one of the methods of RNAi, and we provide customers with design services for hpRNA expression cassettes in yeast. Our design includes the following steps:

  • Selection of target genes.
  • Design of hpRNA.

hpRNA is designed using specialized software that can predict the secondary structure and stability of stem ring structures. The length of the hairpin loop, connector sequence, and stem length will be optimized to achieve effective gene silencing.

  • Selection of promoters.

Select the promoter used to drive hpRNA expression according to the specific requirements of the experiment. Typically, strong promoters are used, such as TEF1 or GPD1 promoters.

  • Cloning of hpRNA expression cassette.

Synthesize hpRNA expression cassette and clone it into a suitable yeast plasmid vector. Then, standard transformation techniques are used to convert the plasmid into yeast cells.

  • Verification of gene silencing.

Verify gene silencing by analyzing the expression level of target genes using techniques such as qPCR, Western blotting, and phenotype analysis.

Applications of Yeast RNAi System Design Service

  • Research gene function and pathway analysis.
  • Discovery of new drug targets and drug development.
  • Production of recombinant proteins or metabolites.
  • Improvement of industrial yeast strains for biofuels or pharmaceuticals.

Creative BioMart's yeast RNAi system services can benefit researchers who lack professional knowledge or resources to design, build, and optimize internal RNAi constructs. Our expert team has years of experience in RNAi technology, and we use the latest tools and technologies to ensure that our services have the highest level of effectiveness and reliability.
