COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PHOSPHORAMIDITE AND OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS

The present disclosure, among other things, provides technologies for synthesis, including reagents and methods for stereoselective synthesis. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides compounds useful as chiral auxiliaries. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides reagents and methods for oligonucleotide synthesis. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides reagents and methods for chirally controlled preparation of oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, technologies of the present disclosure are particularly useful for constructing challenging internucleotidic linkages, providing high yields and stereoselectivity.

Compounds, compositions and methods for synthesis

The present disclosure pertains to the recognition that immune responses mediated by CpG oligonucleotides can be affected by the stereochemistry of modified internucleotidic linkages such as phosphorothioates. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to chirally controlled CpG oligonucleotide compositions comprising CpG oligonucleotides comprising multiple modified internucleotidic linkages such as phosphorothioate linkages, wherein the oligonucleotides comprise one or more CpG region motifs having defined stereochemistry patterns of chiral internucleotidic linkages. In some embodiments, CpG oligonucleotides comprising one or more CpG region motifs are capable of agonizing an immune response. In some embodiments, CpG oligonucleotides comprising one or more CpG region motifs are antagonistic. Methods for making and using chirally controlled CpG oligonucleotide compositions are also described. In some embodiments, no immune modulation is desired, and the present disclosure provides methods of identifying chirally controlled oligonucleotide compositions which have decreased immune modulation.

Oligonucleotides, compositions and methods thereof

Among other things, the present disclosure provides designed DMD oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods of use thereof. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies useful for repairing mutant DMD transcripts by skipping exon 51 or exon 53, so that the transcript can be translated into an internally truncated but at least partially functional Dystrophin protein variant. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies useful for modulating DMD transcript splicing. In some embodiments, provided technologies can alter splicing of a dystrophin (DMD) DMD transcript. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treating diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, including but not limited to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker's muscular dystrophy, etc.

Oligonucleotide compositions and methods of use thereof

The present disclosure, among other things, provides technologies for oligonucleotide synthesis. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides phosphoramidites and methods for synthesis thereof. In some embodiments, provided methods provides higher yields and/or purities. In some embodiments, provided methods remove byproducts without contact with an aqueous solution.

Compositions and methods for phosphoramidite and oligonucleotide synthesis

Among other things, the present disclosure provides oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods thereof. Among other things, the present disclosure encompasses the recognition that structural elements of oligonucleotides, such as base sequence, chemical modifications (e.g., modifications of sugar, base, and/or internucleotidic linkages) or patterns thereof, conjugation with additional chemical moieties, and/or stereochemistry [e.g., stereochemistry of backbone chiral centers (chiral internucleotidic linkages)], and/or patterns thereof, can have significant impact on oligonucleotide properties and activities, e.g., knockdown ability, stability, delivery, etc. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotides decrease the expression, activity and/or level of a C9orf72 gene, including but not limited to, one comprising a repeat expansion, or a gene product thereof. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treatment of diseases using provided oligonucleotide compositions, for example, in treatment of C9orf72-related disorders.

Oligonucleotide compositions and methods thereof

Among other things, the present disclosure provides designed oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods thereof. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions provide improved single-stranded RNA interference and/or RNase H-mediated knockdown. Among other things, the present disclosure encompasses the recognition that structural elements of oligonucleotides, such as base sequence, chemical modifications (e.g., modifications of sugar, base, and/or internucleotidic linkages) or patterns thereof, conjugation with additional chemical moieties, and/or stereochemistry [e.g., stereochemistry of backbone chiral centers (chiral internucleotidic linkages)], and/or patterns thereof, can have significant impact on oligonucleotide properties and activities, e.g., RNA interference (RNAi) activity, stability, delivery, etc. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treatment of diseases using provided oligonucleotide compositions, for example, in RNA interference and/or RNase H-mediated knockdown.

Among other things, the present disclosure provides designed PNPLA3 oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods thereof. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions provide improved single-stranded RNA interference and/or RNase H-mediated knockdown. Among other things, the present disclosure encompasses the recognition that structural elements of oligonucleotides, such as base sequence, chemical modifications (e.g., modifications of sugar, base, and/or internucleotidic linkages) or N patterns thereof, conjugation with additional chemical moieties, and/or stereochemistry [e.g., stereochemistry of backbone chiral centers (chiral internucleotidic linkages)], and/or patterns thereof, can have significant impact on oligonucleotide properties and activities, e.g., RNA interference (RNAi) activity, stability, delivery, etc. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treatment of diseases using provided oligonucleotide compositions, for example, in RNA interference and/or RNase H-mediated knockdown.

The present disclosure, among other things, provides technologies for preparing and purifying phosphoramidites for oligonucleotide synthesis.

Among other things, the present disclosure relates to designed oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods thereof. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions provide altered splicing of a transcript. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions have low toxicity. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions provide improved protein binding profiles. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions have improved delivery. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions have improved uptake. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treatment of diseases using provided oligonucleotide compositions.

The invention generally relates to nucleotide analogs and methods of their use in sequencing-by-synthesis reactions. In certain embodiments, the invention provides a nucleotide analog including a detectable label attached to a nitrogenous base portion of a nucleotide analog by a cleavable linker, in which contact of the analog with at least one activating agent results in cleavage of the label and elimination of the linker, thereby producing a natural nucleotide, a 9-deaza-G, 9-deaza-A, or &#x3c8;-uridine.

Nucleotide analogs

Capture compounds and collections thereof and methods using the compounds for the analysis of biomolecules are provided. In particular, collections, compounds and methods are provided for analyzing complex protein mixtures, such as the proteome. The compounds are multifunctional reagents that provide for the separation and isolation of complex protein mixtures. Automated systems for performing the methods also are provided.

Capture compounds, collections thereof and methods for analyzing the proteome and complex compositions

The invention provides for nucleotide analogs and methods of using the same, e.g., for sequencing nucleic acids.
