Design, engineering, and characterization of zinc finger nucleases
Abstract
Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated gene targeting is rapidly becoming a powerful tool for "gene editing" and "directed mutagenesis" of plant and mammalian genomes including the human genome. ZFN-mediated gene targeting provides molecular biologists with the ability to site-specifically manipulate and permanently modify plant and mammalian genomes. Facile production of ZFNs and rapid characterization of their in vitro sequence-specific cleavage properties are a pre-requisite before ZFN-mediated gene targeting can become an efficient and effective practical tool for widespread use in biotechnology. Here, we report the design, engineering, and rapid in vitro characterization of ZFNs that target specific endogenous sequences within two mouse genes (mTYR and mCFTR), and two human genes (hCCR5 and hDMPK), respectively. These engineered ZFNs recognize their respective cognate DNA sites encoded in a plasmid substrate in a sequence-specific manner and, as expected, they induce a double-strand break at the chosen target site.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
