摘要:
The presently disclosed subject matter provides compositions and methods for the expression of CRISPR guide RNAs using the H1 promoter. In particular, compositions and methods are provided for the use of the H1 promoter to express CRISPR guide RNA (gRNA) with altered specificity of the 5′ nucleotide, as well as use of the H1 promoter sequence as a bidirectional promoter to express Cas9 nuclease and the gRNA simultaneously. Compositions and methods are also provided for the expression and regulation of gRNA expression in vivo through the use of RNA ribozymes and regulatable aptazymes.
摘要:
Provided herein are compositions and methods for the viral gene therapy (e.g., AAV-directed gene therapy) of cholesterol storage diseases or disorders, such as Niemann-Pick disease, Type C.
摘要:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to recombinant gene editing complexes comprising a recombinant gene editing protein and guide RNA (gRNA) that specifically hybridizes to a region of a C90RF72 gene (e.g., a region flanking a G4C2 repeat or within a exonic region of the gene).
摘要:
Microbial type rhodopsins, such as the light-gated cation-selective membrane channel, channelrhodopsin-2 (Chop2/ChR2) or the ion pump halorhodopsin (HaloR) are expressed in retinal ganglion cells upon transduction using recombinant AAV vectors. Selective targeting of these transgenes for expression in discrete subcellular regions or sites is achieved by including a sorting motif in the vector that can target either the central area or surround (off-center) area of these cells. Nucleic acid molecules comprising nucleotide sequences encoding such rhodopsins and sorting motifs and their use in methods of differential expression of the transgene are disclosed. These compositions and methods provide significant improvements for restoring visual perception and various aspects of vision, particular in patients with retinal disease.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a system and method for efficiently modifying the genome of cells to treat diseases via sequential homologous recombination using CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing with donor DNA delivered by two or more adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are nuclease-based systems for genome editing and methods of using the system for genome editing. Also, disclosed are approaches to enhance Cas9-mediated gene editing efficiency in primary human cells with minimal toxicity when using adeno-associated virus vectors (AAV) to express the guide RNAs necessary for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing in the presence of helper proteins.
