Dharmacon, as a leader in custom RNA synthesis, was an early player in the field of RNA interference, contributing several key scientific findings and some of the first commercially siRNA reagents. Today, their areas of research and research tools have expanded to support all aspects of RNAi interference; siRNA, lentiviral shRNA, tools for microRNA research and genome-scale libraries for RNAi functional screens of genes, microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs. For over-expression, Dharmacon has one of the largest collections of cDNAs and ORFs commercially available.
