Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are programmable nucleases that have opened the door to the genome editing era. The construction of ZFNs recognizing a target sequence of interest is laborious, and has not been widely used recently. However, key ZFN patents are expiring over the next 2-4 years, enabling a wide range of deployments for clinical and industrial applications. This article introduces a ZFN construction protocol that uses bacterial one-hybrid (B1H) selection and single-stranded annealing (SSA) assay.
锌指核酸酶(ZFNs)是可编程核酸酶,开启了基因组编辑时代的大门。构建识别目标序列的锌指核酸酶过程繁琐,近年来未得到广泛应用。然而,关键的锌指核酸酶专利将在未来2至4年内到期,这将使得其在临床和工业应用中有广泛的部署。本文介绍了一种利用细菌单杂交(B1H)筛选和单链退火(SSA)检测的锌指核酸酶构建方案。
