Journal ArticleDOI

High-frequency modification of plant genes using engineered zinc-finger nucleases

TL;DR: High-frequency ZFN-stimulated gene targeting at endogenous plant genes, namely the tobacco acetolactate synthase genes (ALS SuRA and SuRB), for which specific mutations are known to confer resistance to imidazolinone and sulphonylurea herbicides are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TAL nucleases (TALNs): hybrid proteins composed of TAL effectors and FokI DNA-cleavage domain

TL;DR: The creation and initial characterization of a group of rare-cutting, site-specific DNA nucleases produced by fusion of the restriction enzyme FokI endonuclease domain (FN) with the high-specificity DNA-binding domains of AvrXa7 and PthXo1 are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modularly assembled designer TAL effector nucleases for targeted gene knockout and gene replacement in eukaryotes

TL;DR: These studies expand the realm of verified TALEN activity from cultured human cells to an intact eukaryotic organism and suggest that low-cost, highly dependable dTALENs can assume a significant role for gene modifications of value in human and animal health, agriculture and industry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unexpected failure rates for modular assembly of engineered zinc fingers

TL;DR: In the version of this correspondence initially published, the two previously published datasets analyzed were labeled with incorrect references in Figure 1b.
