Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus proliferation by designer antisense-circRNAs
27 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that exist in all eukaryotes investigated and are derived from back-splicing of certain pre-mRNA exons. Here, we report the application of artificial circRNAs designed to act as antisense-RNAs. We systematically tested a series of antisense-circRNAs targeted to the SARS-CoV-2 genome RNA, in particular its structurally conserved 5'-untranslated region. Functional assays...
