  • Publication number: 20230073999
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a polynucleotide having a modification site in a translated region with translation activity retained. The object can be achieved by a polynucleotide containing a translated region from a start codon to a stop codon, in which the translated region contains n codons, and the n is a positive integer of 2 or more, each of the n codons contains first, second and third nucleotides, and the first nucleotides in at least two codons of the n codons are sugar modified nucleotides.
