Abstract excerpt
Experimental strategies have been developed to correct point mutations using chimeric oligonucleotides composed of RNA and DNA. We used these RNA-DNA oligonucleotides to correct a point mutation in mouse tyrosinase, a key enzyme for melanin synthesis and pigmentation. Melanocytes derived from albino mice contain a homozygous point mutation (TGT-->TCT) in the tyrosinase gene, resulting in an amino acid change from...
