RNA interference takes flight: a new RNAi screen reveals cell cycle regulators in Drosophila cells.
In a new study, a systematic screen for genes necessary for normal cell cycle progression has been completed in Drosophila S2 cells.


RESULTS
some familiar faces and some new faces add to our appreciation of the staggering complexity of cellular growth and proliferation. The apparent utility of genome-wide RNA interference screens is validated once again.
