Biological evidence for the world's smallest tRNAs.

abstract：:Oligonucleotides are multifunctional molecules which can interfere with gene expression by different mechanism such as antisense, RNA interference, ribozymes, etc. For most in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic applications, oligonucleotides need to be delivered to the intracellular compartment of a specific organ, a dif...
