Abstract: The present invention relates to a blood cell-free DNA-based method for predicting the prognosis of liver cancer treatment. A method for predicting the prognosis of liver cancer, according to the present invention, uses next generation sequencing (NGS) so as to increase the accuracy of prognosis prediction of a liver cancer patient and also increase the accuracy of prognosis prediction based on a very low concentration cell-free DNA of which detection has been difficult, thereby increasing the commercial utilization thereof. Therefore, the method of the present invention is useful for determining the prognosis of a liver cancer patient.

Abstract: Novel intron fragments are provided. The intron fragments can increase gene expression to levels equal to or higher than those achieved by the full-length intron while maintaining their ability to increase gene expression even when combined with various types of promoters and splicing donors. Particularly, the intron fragments enable loading of larger transgenes when used in genetic information delivery systems whose size is limited, for example, adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) and rhabdoviruses. Therefore, the use of the intron fragments is expected to extend the range of therapeutic genes.
