Methods of analyzing nucleic acid fragments
Provided herein are methods for enriching a biological sample for a target nucleic acid, and analyzing the nucleic acid. In some cases, a biological sample is enriched for target nucleic acids associated with a cancer or tumor. In some cases, a biological sample is enriched for target nucleic acids, and the target nucleic acids vary in length. In some cases, one or more probes are used to enrich the biological sample for the target nucleic acid. In some cases, one or more probes hybridize to one or more ends of a target nucleic acid.
CHIMERIC PROTEIN AND RELATED GENIC TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY
A human chimeric protein(1) is described, expressed by a viral vector (2) designed for treating patients affected by genetic disorders, composed of a first cDNA sequence [SEQ. 2] of a N-terminal extracellular portion of a human receptor (4) of low-density lipoproteins (5) (hLDLR), fused with a second cDNA sequence [SEQ. 3] of the human transferrin (7) (hTf).

Intracellular translation of circular RNA
A circular mRNA molecule possessing features resembling native mammalian mRNA demonstrates improved translation, while retaining the properties of an extremely long half-life inside cells. This circular mRNA is functional inside mammalian cells, being able to compete against native cellular mRNAs for the eukaryotic translation initiation machinery. The invention possesses additional RNA elements compared to a previous invention containing only an IRES element for successful in vitro or in vivo translation.

Method of immobilising RNA onto a surface
The invention relates to a method of immobilising at least one RNA molecule onto a surface of a support comprising: i) providing a first support having a surface on which at least one DNA molecule is immobilised, wherein the DNA molecule encodes an RNA molecule and the encoded RNA molecule comprises a binding molecule; ii) providing a second support having a surface on which at least one binding partner for interacting with the binding molecule is immobilised; iii) arranging the first and second supports such that the surfaces displaying the immobilised molecules are in close proximity and substantially face each other, and contacting the DNA molecule immobilised on the surface of the first support with transcription reagents; and iv) carrying out a transcription reaction to generate the encoded RNA molecule, wherein the RNA molecule is directly immobilised onto the surface of the second support via an interaction between the binding molecule of the RNA molecule and the binding partner on the surface of the second support.
