    摘要: The invention relates generally to compact promoters and their use in gene editing e.g., for treating disease. The disclosure is based, in part, upon the discovery of compact, bidirectional promoters that can be used to express both a nuclease (e.g., a Cas9 nuclease) and a guide RNA (gRNA). For example, in certain embodiments disclosed herein, a compact, bidirectional promoter can comprise at least one regulatory element that directs expression of a gRNA in one direction and at least one regulatory element that directs expression of a nuclease in the other direction. Accordingly, the promoters disclosed herein use less space than prior art promoters, allowing both a nuclease and a gRNA to be packaged in a single vector (e.g., a plasmid or an AAV).
