Abstract excerpt
Meganucleases are sequence-specific endonucleases which recognize large (>12 bp) target sites in living cells and can stimulate homologous gene targeting by a 1000-fold factor at the cleaved locus. We have recently described a combinatorial approach to redesign the I-CreI meganuclease DNA-binding interface, in order to target chosen sequences. However, engineering was limited to the protein regions shown to...
