It is always difficult to select the most optimal ASO sequence for splice modulation of transcripts. Toshifumi Yokota will present the e-skip-Finder, a freely available tool to select the best ASO for your studies. #ASO2022 Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society

We couldn't have done it without the support of our funding partners! Our study was made possible by the Friends of Garrett Cumming Research & Muscular Dystrophy Canada Research Chair Fund, Women & Children's Health Research Institute, CIHR-IHDCYH. Their support allows us to work towards finding innovative solutions for #SMA.
