Nucleic acid molecules such as shRNA clusters and artificial miRNA clusters are disclosed, Also disclosed are methods of use, compositions, cells, viral particles, and kits relating to the nucleic acid molecules disclosed herein. The disclosure provides, at least in part nucleic acid molecules such as shRNA clusters encoding shRNA-like molecules and artificial miRNA clusters encoding modified pri-miRNA-like molecules. The shRNA clusters and artificial miRNA clusters disclosed herein can be used, for example, to produce artificial RNA molecules, e.g., RNAi molecules. Cells, viral particles, compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions), kits, and methods relating to the nucleic acid molecules, e.g., shRNA clusters and artificial miRNA clusters, are also disclosed. The nucleic acid molecules (e.g., shRNA clusters and artificial miRNA clusters), artificial RNA molecules (e.g., RNAi molecules), cells, viral particles, compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions), and kits and methods disclosed herein can be used to treat or prevent a disease, e.g., HIV infection and/or AIDS.La présente invention concerne des molécules dacide nucléique, telles que des agrégats de shARN et des agrégats de micro-ARN artificiels. Elle concerne également des procédés dutilisation, des compositions, des cellules, des particules virales, et des kits se rapportant aux molécules dacide nucléique selon linvention.
