  • Publication number: 20170145438
    Abstract: Disclosed are delivery platforms for use in gene editing that include a relatively short, highly efficient promoter that drives transcription of a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a gene-editing molecule, e.g., either a gRNA or a nuclease. In conjunction with this promoter, the vector includes one or more transcription factor binding elements (an Sp1 binding element and/or an NF-?B binding element) cloned into the vector upstream of a promoter that drives transcription of a gene-editing molecule. The vector can be a all-in-one CRISPR/Cas9 delivery platform and can incorporate one or more of the transcription factor binding elements upstream of a promoter for the gRNA component and/or of a promoter for the nuclease component.
