shRNA control - (May/07/2007 )
Hi everyone,
                 I'm planning on trasfecting a plasmid expressing a shRNA to induce RNAi.  I wanted to know if anyone knew a good universal negative control (rather than just scrambling my sequence) sequence I can use.
Thanks

we use LacZ shRNA as control.

Thanks for the tip.  Do you happen to know the sequence of the LacZ shRNA that you use or the paper that mentions it? 
Thanks again

Check this paper. It has the sequences.
