## Abstract Rerouting the splicing machinery with steric‐block oligonucleotides (ON) might lead to new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of diseases such as β‐thalassemia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or cancers. Interfering with splicing requires the sequence‐specific and stable hybridizatio
