Treating Disease at the RNA Level with Oligonucleotides

Diseases as different as spinal muscular atrophy and hyperlipidemias can now be treated with drugs that act on RNA. A new class of drugs — oligonucleotides — takes advantage of Watson and Crick's base-pairing rules to target disease-related RNAs. With information from the sequencing of the human…
