Targeted CNS delivery using human MiniPromoters and demonstrated compatibility with adeno-associated viral vectors

Critical for human gene therapy is the availability of small promoters tools to drive gene expression in a highly specific and reproducible manner. We tackled this challenge by developing human DNA MiniPromoters (MiniPs) using computational biology and phylogenetic conservation. MiniPs were tested i...
