RNA containing modified nucleosides and methods of use thereof

Modified RNA with pseudouridine that extends in vivo gene therapy and silencing payloads without licensing constraints.

What it is

This technology builds RNA and gene-therapy vectors that incorporate pseudouridine (a modified nucleoside) to alter how the RNA behaves in cells. It’s technically significant because pseudouridine-modified RNA is engineered for stronger functional performance than unmodified RNA, enabling more effective gene replacement and transcription silencing from the same delivery format. Previously, using these specific modified-nucleoside RNA compositions and vectors required permission under the patent’s claims.

What you could build

Launch pseudouridine-modified RNA therapeutics for gene replacement, CRISPR-like silencing, or in vivo protein delivery.
