Abstract excerpt
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are designer nucleases capable of cleaving a prespecified target DNA within complex genomes. ZFNs consist of a non-specific endonuclease domain fused to an engineered DNA-binding domain that tethers the nuclease activity to the chosen chromosomal site. The endonuclease-induced DNA double strand break triggers a cellular DNA damage response, resulting in double strand break repair by...
