Hiroshima University will form an “artificial nuclease research base” for genome editing
The program is clustered around Professor Takashi YAMAMOTO who has developed artificial nucleases (TALEN and ZFN), chimera proteins whose domains are specifically combined with restriction enzyme FokI. If it combines with the target sequence, DNA will be cut. Since selection of a target sequence is possible, this method is considered as next-generation KO technology, which […]
