Abstract excerpt
Spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing (SMaRT) is an emerging technology for the repair of defective pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) molecules. It is especially useful in the treatment of genetic disorders involving large genes. Although viral vectors have been used for achieving long-lasting expression of trans-splicing molecules, the immunogenicity and suboptimal safety profiles associated with viral-based...
