  • HIGH-EFFICIENCY RECONSTITUTION OF RNA MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20220145347
    Abstract: Provided herein are synthetic RNA molecules for reconstitution of RNA molecules, including compositions and methods of using these molecules. For example, such molecules can be used to deliver a protein coding sequence over two or more viral vectors (such as AAVs), resulting in reconstitution of the full-length protein in a cell. Such methods can be used to deliver a therapeutic protein, for example to treat a genetic disease or cancer.
