The present invention describes a novel approach whereby small molecules
may be used to modulate activity of microRNA and GAM oligonucleotides.
This mode of therapy allows inter alia up regulation of a disease-related
target gene of novel GAM oligonucleotides of the present invention, by
countering the activity of a GAM oligonucleotides which naturally
inhibits expression of that target gene. Nucleic acid molecules are
provided respectively encoding 122,764 GAM oligonucleotides and their
respective precursors, and 18602 GR polynucleotides, as are vectors and
probes both comprising the nucleic acid molecules, and methods and
systems for detecting GAM oligonucleotides and GR polynucleotides and
specific functions and utilities thereof, for detecting expression of GAM
oligonucleotides and GR polynucleotides, and for selectively enhancing
and selectively inhibiting translation of the respective target genes
thereof.
