Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to systems, methods and compositions for use in Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cpf1 genome editing systems.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel bicyclic carbocyclic nucleosides and oligomeric compounds prepared therefrom. Incorporation of one or more of the bicyclic carbocyclic nucleosides into an oligomeric compound is expected to enhance one or more properties of the oligomeric compound. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in modulation of normal function of the target RNA. In certain embodiments, bicyclic carbocyclic nucleosides are provided as monomers for use as antivirals.
Abstract:
An oligonucleotide derivative comprises repeating structural units represented by the following general formula (wherein B represents adenine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil; X represents a sulfur atom or an oxygen atom; n represents an integer of 6 to 60; and B and X are independently represented in each of the repeating structural units), wherein X is a sulfur atom in at least one of the repeating structural units represented by the general formula:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to oligomer compounds (oligomers) which target nucleic acids encoding human SMN2 in a cell, leading to modulation of SMN2 mRNA splicing which favors full length SMN2 mRNA rather than the poorly functional truncated transcript, SMN2 Δ7. Reduction of SMNA7 mRNA expression and/or increase in full length SMN2 mRNA expression are beneficial for the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with overexpression or undesirably high levels of aberrant forms of SMN2, particularly SMN2 Δ7, such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Abstract:
The invention relates to iRNA, e.g., double stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA), compositions targeting the complement factor C3 gene, and methods of using such iRNA, e.g., dsRNA, compositions to inhibit expression of a C3 gene and to treat subjects having a complement component C3-associated disease, e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), myasthenia gravis (MG), and C3 glomerulonephritis.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to: a double-stranded oligonucleotide which can highly specifically and efficiently inhibit the proliferation of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), preferably a double-stranded oligonucleotide comprising a sequence in the form of RNA/RNA, DNA/DNA or a DNA/RNA hybrid; a double-stranded oligonucleotide structure and nanoparticles comprising the double-stranded oligonucleotide; and a use thereof for treating COVID-19.
