Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We directly corrected the mouse Crb1(rd8) gene mutation, which is present in many inbred laboratory strains derived from C57BL/6N and complicates genetic studies of retinal disease in mice. METHODS: Fertilized C57BL/6NJ oocytes were coinjected with mRNAs encoding a transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) targeting the Crb1(rd8) allele plus single-stranded oligonucleotides to correct the...
