What genes are already in production and how can I nominate a gene(s)?

In the future, the TRiP team will post a complete list of the CG numbers for genes already in the production cue so you can crosscheck and nominate only genes that are not already on the list. Also, please check out the current list of completed TRiP Stocks.

Genes will be added to the TRiP cue from three possible avenues. (A) Selections will be in keeping with the BDSC mandate of one mutation per gene. (B) We will meet the needs of screeners at the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC) for in vivo follow-up studies subsequent to cell-based screens. And (C) we will meet the needs of the Drosophila community for in vivo phenotypic analyses through a nomination process. In keeping with our successful proposal to NIH/NIGMS, priority will go to nominations that help to fill in the phenotype gap and overcome issues associated with pleiotropy.

To nominate a gene(s), the PI of the lab should send a letter to TRiP@flyrnai.org that includes an explanation of why the specific gene(s) is being nominated.
