The expression of eukaryotic genes relies on the precise 3'-terminal cleavage and polyadenylation of newly synthesized pre-mRNA transcripts. Defects in these processes have been associated with various diseases, including cancer. While cancer-focused sequencing studies have identified numerous driver mutations in protein-coding sequences, noncoding drivers - particularly those affecting the cis-elements required for pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation - have received less attention.

Small molecules targeting G-quadruplexes (G4s) in viruses could inhibit viral proliferation. The 1a protein of (CMV) act as RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) that plays a crucial role in regulating the replication of CMV. In this study, four putative G4 sequences (CMV PQS1-PQS4) in the genetic coding region of CMV were identified, and three of them (PQS2, PQS3, and PQS4) were confirmed to fold into G4 structures.

In this study, a novel quantum dot (QD)-labeled specific anti-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) aptamer sequence was conjugated to a pH-responsive niosomal particle platform for delivery of docetaxel (DTX) components. The target cells were overexpressed PSMA. This strategy can minimize the systemic toxicity prevalent in DTX.

Prime editor, an editing tool based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system, allows for all 12 types of nucleotide exchanges and arbitrary indels in genomic sequences without the need for inducing DNA double-strand breaks. Despite its flexibility and precision, prime editing efficiency is still low and hindered by various factors such as target sites, editing types, and the length of the primer binding site. In this study, we developed a prime editing system by incorporating an RNA motif at the 3' terminal of the pegRNA and integrating all twin prime editor factors into a single plasmid.
