A brief historical introduction describes early attempts to silence specific genes using the antisense oligonucleotides that flourished in the 1980s. Early aspirations for therapeutic …
Antibody specificity and diversity is generated in B cells during germinal center maturation through clonal expansion while they undergo class-switch recombination and somatic …

Synthetic nucleic acids are commonly used laboratory tools for modulating gene expression and have the potential to be widely used in the clinic. Progress towards nucleic acid drugs …
Light-activated antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (asODNs) were developed to control the degradation of target mRNA in living cells by RNase H. A 20-mer asODN previously shown …

A method of inhibiting the expression of particular genes by using external guide sequences (EGSs) has been improved in its rapidity and specificity. Random EGSs that have 14-nt …
Accurate cancer diagnosis often requires extraction and purification of genetic materials from cells and sophisticated instrumentations that follow. Otherwise in order to directly treat …
