E1i1 oligo activates cryptic site in exon 1 |
Here's a report of an unusual splice response to a Morpholino targeting the e1i1 junction. We'd expect the common outcome, insertion of intron 1. Instead, the splice was redirected to a cryptic splice site in exon 1, resulting in a shortened mature transcript. The new splice site knocked the downstream sequence out of frame, so this produced a good knockdown. |

Morpholinos shorter than 25 bases |
A Morpholino user, accustomed to using 25-base Morpholinos in Xenopus laevis, was concerned about a design she received for a 20-base Morpholino. She wrote to ask if we had designed many short oligos and if they worked well. Here is my response. ------------------------------------- |
