Abstract
The advent of siRNA-based screens has revolutionized the efficiency by which functional components of biological processes are identified. A notable exception has been the field of mammalian circadian rhythms. Here, we outline a medium- to high-throughput siRNA-based approach that, in combination with real-time bioluminescence measurement of a circadian reporter gene, can be utilized to elucidate the effects of gene knockdown across several days in human cells.
