This invention provides RNA, oligoribonucleotide, and polyribonucleotide molecules comprising pseudouridine or a modified nucleoside, gene therapy vectors comprising same, methods of synthesizing same, and methods for gene replacement, gene therapy, gene transcription silencing, and the delivery of therapeutic proteins to tissue in vivo, comprising the molecules. The present invention also provides methods of reducing the immunogenicity of RNA, oligoribonucleotide, and polyribonucleotide molecules.

Polynucleotides, such as aptamers, comprising at least first one 5-position modified pyrimidine and at least one second 5-position modified pyrimidine are provided, wherein the first and second 5-position modified pyrimidines are different. Methods of selecting and using such polynucleotides, such as aptamers, are also provided.

The present disclosure features useful compositions and methods to treat trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders, e.g., in a subject in need thereof. In some aspects, the compositions and methods described herein are useful in the treatment of disorders associated with OGG1 activity.

The present technology relates, in part, to long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (e.g., 30 or more base pairs) that inhibits gene expression.

The present invention provides oligomeric compounds. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in selective modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of a target Huntingtin gene or Huntingtin transcript in a cell.

CRISPR/Cas-related compositions and methods which provide for efficient gene editing of eukaryotic cells using modified gRNAs.

The present disclosure relates to RNA molecules encoding a varicella zoster virus (VZV). The present disclosure further relates to compositions comprising the RNA molecules formulated in a lipid nanoparticle (RNA-LNP). The present disclosure further relates to the use of the RNA molecules, RNA-LNPs and compositions for the treatment or prevention of herpes zoster or shingles.

The present invention relates to non-immunogenic RNA. This RNA forms the basis for the development of therapeutic agents for inducing tolerance towards an autoantigen and thus, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

The invention relates to iRNA, e.g., double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA), compositions targeting the complement component C5 gene, and methods of using such iRNA, e.g., dsRNA, compositions to inhibit expression of C5 and to treat subjects having a complement component C5-associated disease, e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Compositions and methods disclosed herein can help provide improved delivery of non-natural therapeutic nucleotides for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. An example composition includes an assembly of amphiphilic polynucleotides, where each amphiphilic polynucleotide includes an aptamer portion, a first nucleotide portion, and a second nucleotide portion.
