Abstract excerpt
Synthetic DNA oligonucleotides can direct the exchange of single nucleotides within coding regions of mammalian genes by hybridizing to their complementary sequence in the chromosome and creating a recombination joint structure with a single mismatched base pair. Inherent DNA repair processes recognize the mismatch and resolve it using the DNA sequence of the oligonucleotide vector as the template. This gene...
