Abstract

RNAi-mediated silencing of a particular gene is an important tool in the field of biology. Knocking down experiments has revealed the role of different proteins and their downstream targets. Here, we describe the procedure of silencing transcription factor of Forkhead box class “O” (FOXO) using shRNA.
