Genome editing with engineered zinc finger nucleases

Urnov, Fyodor D., Rebar, Edward J., Holmes, Michael C., Zhang, H. Steve, Gregory, Philip D.·2010·Nature Reviews Genetics

Abstract

Reverse genetics in model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, Arabidopsis thaliana, zebrafish and rats, efficient genome engineering in human embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells, targeted integration in crop plants, and HIV resistance in immune cells - this broad range of outcomes has resulted from the application of the same core technology: targeted genome cleavage by engineered, sequence-specific zinc finger nucleases followed by gene modification during subsequent repair. Such 'genome editing' is now established in human cells and a number of model organisms, thus opening the door to a range of new experimental and therapeutic possibilities.

  • Customizing gene disruption using either ZFNs or TALENs requires the design of specific proteins to target each dsDNA site.

    “However, customizing gene disruption using either ZFNs or TALENs requires the design of specific proteins to target each dsDNA site [2], [3].”
  • ZFNs have been widely utilized for genome editing in various types of cells and living organisms.

    “Taking advantage of the effective and sequence-specific gene modification capability of ZFNs, the technology has been widely utilized for genome editing in various types of cells and living organisms [23,24,25,26,27,28,29].”

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.
