Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for genomic editing of one or more genes in zebrafish, using fusion proteins comprising a zinc finger protein and a cleavage domain or cleavage half-domain. Polynucleotides encoding said fusion proteins are also provided, as are cells comprising said polynucleotides and fusion proteins.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for modifying stem cells using one or more ZFPs are disclosed. Such methods and compositions are useful for facilitating processes such as, for example, dedifferentiating cells, differentiating stems cells into the desired phenotype, propagating stem cells and/or facilitating cloning.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for targeted integration of an exogenous sequence into the human PPP1R12C locus, for example, for expression of a polypeptide of interest.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for targeted cleavage of a genomic sequence, targeted alteration of a genomic sequence, and targeted recombination between a genomic region and an exogenous polynucleotide homologous to the genomic region. The compositions include fusion proteins comprising a cleavage domain (or cleavage half-domain) and an engineered zinc finger domain and polynucleotides encoding same. Methods for targeted cleavage include introduction of such fusion proteins, or polynucleotides encoding same, into a cell. Methods for targeted recombination additionally include introduction of an exogenous polynucleotide homologous to a genomic region into cells comprising the disclosed fusion proteins.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for modulating the expression of a HLA locus or for selectively deleting or manipulating a HLA locus or HLA regulator.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are zinc fingers comprising CCHC zinc coordinating residues. Also described are zinc finger proteins and fusion proteins comprising these CCHC zinc fingers as well as polynucleotides encoding these proteins. Methods of using these proteins for gene editing and gene regulation are also described
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for targeted integration of a exogenous sequence into a predetermined target site in a genome for use, for example, in protein expression and gene inactivation.
Abstract:
Methods for the design of exogenous regulatory molecules, comprising a DNA-binding domain and a functional domain, are provided. The methods rely on the identification, isolation and characterization or regulatory DNA sequences obtained on the basis of their accessibility in cellular chromatin.
