Zinc finger nucleases are designed to be like heat-seeking missiles, precisely targeted to find and cut specific sequences of DNA. Occasionally, however, they may snip the wrong spot, causing ...

Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) have great potential for translational research and clinical use. Scientists succeeded in the efficient construction of functional ZFNs and the improvement of their genome ...

Using engineered zinc-finger nucleases—DNA-binding proteins that target specific sequences—researchers at a biotechnology company report this week in an advanced online publication in Nature that they ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

Scientists from The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Sangamo Biosciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT) and INSERM today announced the creation of ...

Dana Carroll must be considered one of the deans of genome editing. He was instrumental in the development of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), the genome editing tool that predates CRISPR-Cas by a full ...
