A compilation of the latest advances in nucleic acid research and science.  These encompass the clinical development of nucleosides as antiviral agents, new directions in nucleoside chemistry and biology, and covers prodrugs, nucleotides, dinucleotides and oligonucleotides as therapeutics.  As our understanding of nucleic acid molecules and their interaction with specific viral and cancer targets increases, new agents are being developed to allow more potent, less toxic drugs for first line and salvage therapy, to delay and prevent the development of resistance to these agents, which could lead to a decreased morbidity and mortality for some of the most important diseases in the world today.  This book is dedicated to Dr. Kyoichi A. Watanabe, a remarkable scientist who through four decades of research and development has immensely contributed to the understanding of nucleic acids.
