There are numerous ways the oligonucleotides have been used for the treatment of disease. The most prominent ones have worked via RNAase H, splice switching, siRNA, apatmer, and immuinomodulaor mechanisms. There are many more potential ways to apply oligonucleotides as therapeutic agents. This session will explore two additional mechanisms, U1 Adaptor Oligonucleotides, and the CRISPR cas. The evolution of novel technologies will undoubtedly influence the field moving forward.
