What Is ZFN Technology?
Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are a class of engineered DNA-binding proteins that facilitate targeted editing of the genome by creating double-strand breaks in DNA at user-specified locations.
How Do ZFNs Work?
CompoZr Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) are used to create modified cell lines with targeted gene deletions, gene insertions, or gene corrections.
Targeted Genome Editing Using Engineered Zinc Finger Nucleases
Targeted genome editing with Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) has a wide variety of applications, and three key modes of action have been a focus thus far: targeted gene knockouts, targeted gene integration, and targeted gene correction.
