Donor-Free Gene Correction by Targeted Interhomolog Recombination
2019-02-03
Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous gene correction by interhomolog recombination (IHR) occasionally occurs to ameliorate genetic diseases of blood and skin 1–3 . Using an engineered endogenous gene as a reporter, we demonstrate that gene correction by IHR is normally infrequent (≤0.02%) but is stimulated by DSBs targeted by CRISPR/Cas9 to both homologous chromosomes; reaching frequencies of 0.5%. We further show that depletion of POLQ...
