Abstract excerpt
Animal models, including the zebrafish, without a reliable embryonic stem cell system are not easily amenable to targeted mutagenesis for studying gene function. Three recent publications have shown that zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) have circumvented this shortcoming in zebrafish. Similar to restriction enzymes, ZFNs can introduce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs); moreover, they can be designed to...
