Oligo types, therapeutic Morpholinos, upregulation with Morpholinos

Here are some types of oligos sorted by their mechanisms.

RNase-H dependent

  • DNA
  • Phosphorothioate DNA

RNase-independent (steric blocking oligos)

  • Morpholinos
  • 2’-O-substituted oligos (often phosphorothioate linkages)
    • 2’-O methyl
    • 2’-O methoxyethyl
  • PNA (peptide nucleic acids)
  • LNA (locked nucleic acid)

Argonaute dependent

  • siRNA
  • shRNA

Papers describing Morpholinos used in DMD studies

Papers describing Morpholinos used in DMD studies
Note: this is not an exhaustive list. Using DMD-related keywords in the Morpholino publications database will turn up many more citations. Some key papers are marked with triple astrisks (***). The papers are divided into non-clinical (first) and clinical (following).
