Human gene targeting favors insertions over deletions.

Abstract excerpt

Gene targeting is a powerful technique for manipulating the human genome, but few studies have directly compared the targeting frequencies of various types of vector constructs. Here we show that similar targeting constructs are able to insert nucleotides at the homologous chromosomal target locus more efficiently than they can delete nucleotides, and combination insertion/deletion vectors appear to target at...
