Aptamer-mediated multivalent endogenous ADAR1 recruitment for highly efficient RNA editing
Key Takeaways
  • MARRS is reported to recruit endogenous ADAR1 p150 robustly.
  • Editing efficiencies were up to 100% in vitro and 84% in vivo.
  • Evidence is from engineered RNAs in cells and mouse models.
