Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Engineering zinc finger protein motifs for specific binding to double-stranded DNA is critical for targeted genome editing. Most existing tools for predicting DNA-binding specificity in zinc fingers are trained on data obtained from naturally occurring proteins, thereby skewing the predictions. Moreover, these mostly neglect the cooperativity exhibited by zinc fingers. METHODS: Here, we present an...
