Journal ArticleDOI

A combinatorial approach to create artificial homing endonucleases cleaving chosen sequences

TL;DR: The first artificial HEs whose specificity has been entirely redesigned to cleave a naturally occurring sequence are described, demonstrating that the plasticity of LAGLIDADG endonucleases allows extensive engineering, and provide a general method to create novel endon nucleases with tailored specificities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meganucleases and other tools for targeted genome engineering: perspectives and challenges for gene therapy.

TL;DR: These alternative approaches based on non-viral vectorization and/or targeted insertion aimed at achieving safer gene transfer are reviewed, with a special emphasis on megan nucleases, a family of naturally occurring rare-cutting endonucleases, and speculate on their current and future potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome engineering empowers the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum for biotechnology

TL;DR: The generation of an enhanced lipid-producing strain through the disruption of the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase gene exemplifies the power of genome engineering to harness diatoms for biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meganucleases and DNA double-strand break-induced recombination : Perspectives for gene therapy

TL;DR: Current systems based on redesigned endonucleases will be presented, with a special emphasis on the recent advances in homing endonuclease engineering, and the main issues that will need to be addressed in order to bring this promising technology to the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering of large numbers of highly specific homing endonucleases that induce recombination on novel DNA targets.

TL;DR: It is shown that a semi-rational approach can be used to derive hundreds of novel proteins from I-CreI, a homing endonuclease from the LAGLIDADG family, and rules for protein/DNA interaction can be inferred from statistical analysis.
