On-array synthesis of over 20,000 shRNAs at a coverage of ∼30 shRNAs per gene, followed by cloning into lentiviral shRNA libraries and deconvolution of the complex libraries by deep sequencing, ensures high confidence in the observed knockdown phenotypes with low false-negative rates and few off-target hits.
