non profit founded 2005 website www.rnaiglobal.org the rnai global initiative 1 is an alliance of international biomedical researchers that has been established to increase and accelerate the utility of genome wide rnai libraries . 2 genome wide rnai screening has the potential to fundamentally change biological research by increasing scientists ability to understand disease mechanisms and facilitating faster drug discovery and development . the rnai global initiative provides a forum for member institutions to share research protocols establish experimental standards and develop mechanisms for exchanging and comparing screening data . this ongoing interaction between the rnai global initiative members is expected to help researchers optimize high throughput human genome wide rnai screening and accelerate drug discovery . membership is open to non profit biomedical research institutions across the globe . the rnai global initiative was established and is being coordinated under the auspices of the dharmacon product line of ge healthcare whose research and development scientists actively contribute to the initiative . miare edit through collaboration and the meaningful exchange of information and data the rnai global initiative intends to draw a comprehensive roadmap of human gene function and use this as a foundation to revolutionize the way medicine and healthcare are delivered . to this end members of the rnai global initiative are actively engaged in promoting the concept and implementation of minimum information standards to facilitate data sharing within the extended rnai community . building on established standards such as miame minimum information about a microarray experiment the rnai global initiative has contributed work towards a community wide effort known as the minimum information about an rnai experiment miare . 3 these reporting guidelines were developed in part by a large inter laboratory benchmarking study and in part by workshops and discussions amongst the rnai global initiative members . member institutions edit as of january 2010 there were over 50 member groups in 15 different countries . 4 references edit rnai global initiative website www.rnaiglobal.org ncbi probe database entry miare website www.miare.org november 2009 press release retrieved from https en.wikipedia.org w index.php title rnai global initiative & oldid 727230803 categories international scientific organizationsbiomedical research foundations navigation menu personal tools not logged intalkcontributionscreate accountlog in namespaces article talk variants views read edit view history more search navigation main pagecontentsfeatured contentcurrent eventsrandom articledonate to wikipediawikipedia store interaction helpabout wikipediacommunity portalrecent changescontact page tools what links hererelated changesupload filespecial pagespermanent linkpage informationwikidata itemcite this page print export create a bookdownload as pdfprintable version languages add links this page was last modified on 27 june 2016 at 15 37 . text is available under the creative commons attribution sharealike license ; additional terms may apply . by using this site you agree to the terms of use and privacy policy . wikipedia is a registered trademark of the wikimedia foundation inc. a non profit organization . privacy policy about wikipedia disclaimers contact wikipedia developers cookie statement mobile view
