Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and targeted gene correction: a mechanistic point of view.

Abstract excerpt

Within the last decade, a number of nucleic acid-based gene targeting strategies have been developed with the ultimate goal to cure human genetic disorders caused by mutations. Thus far, site-directed gene targeting is the only procedure that can make predefined alterations in the genome. The advantage of this approach is that expression of the corrected gene is regulated in the same way as a normal gene. In...
