The incredible properties of siRNAs have provided novel tools to create efficient gene knock out, and in combination with the availability of full genome sequences opened up the road to large scale functional genomic projects. I will discuss our ongoing functional genomic screens using RNAi interference in Drosophila cells. In addition, I will discuss data mining approaches of RNAi screens and our plans at using the RNAi-derived functional information to determine the structure of signaling networks.
