    REMI-SEQ HANDBOOK For preparation of samples for next generation sequencing from GWDI-bank mutant cells. ‘REMI-seq: generation of a genome wide mutant resource for Dictyostelium functional genomics’ is funded by the Wellcome Trust, from a grant awarded to Professor Chris Thompson and Professor Adrian Harwood. Please reference the following publication when publishing your data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX REMI-seq Handbook_AJB_08/2017 1 The REMI-seq Project REMI-seq combines restriction enzyme mediated integration with the power of next generation sequencing technology for functional genomic studies. The REMI-seq project generated both single gene mutants with defined insertion sites and large pools of mutants that can be used for genomic level screening strategies of population fitness and parallel phenotyping to probe sub-lethal sensitivity changes to developmental signals, toxins or drugs. The collection of mutants generated by the REMI-seq project is known as the Genome Wide Dictyostelium Insertion resource or GWDI-bank for short.
