RNA Splicing Manipulation: Strategies to Modify Gene Expression for a Variety of Therapeutic Outcomes

Abstract excerpt

Antisense oligomers initially showed promise as compounds to modify gene expression, primarily through RNaseH induced degradation of the target transcript. Expansion of the field has led to new chemistries capable of invoking different mechanisms, including suppression of protein synthesis by translational blockade and gene silencing using short interfering RNAs. It is now apparent that the majority of the...
