Validating RNAi phenotypes in Drosophila using a synthetic RNAi-resistant transgene.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful and widely used approach to investigate gene function, but a major limitation of the approach is the high incidence of non-specific phenotypes that arise due to off-target effects. We previously showed that RNAi-mediated knock-down of pico, which encodes the onl...
