Journal ArticleDOI

A TALE nuclease architecture for efficient genome editing

TL;DR: This study identifies TALE truncation variants that efficiently cleave DNA when linked to the catalytic domain of FokI and uses them to generate discrete edits or small deletions within endogenous human NTF3 and CCR5 genes at efficiencies of up to 25%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome editing with engineered zinc finger nucleases

TL;DR: A 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly efficient endogenous human gene correction using designed zinc-finger nucleases

TL;DR: It is shown that zinc-finger nucleases designed against an X-linked severe combined immune deficiency mutation in the IL2Rγ gene yielded more than 18% gene-modified human cells without selection, raising the possibility of strategies based on zinc- finger nucleases for the treatment of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic engineering of human pluripotent cells using TALE nucleases

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) for site-specific genome modification in human pluripotent cells with similar efficiency and precision as do zinc-finger nucleases.
