Abstract excerpt
Enrichment of desired mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes, in both experimental systems and the clinic, is an end sought by many. Through use of a designer nuclease platform optimized for delivery to mitochondria-the mitochondrially targeted zinc finger-nuclease (mtZFN)-it is possible to discriminate between mtDNA haplotypes with specificity to the order of a single nucleotide substitution. Site-specific...
