• Genome editing via sequence-specific nucleases is known. See references 1, 2, and 3 hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
• a nuclease-mediated double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) break in the genome can be repaired by two main mechanisms: Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ), which frequently results in the introduction of non-specific insertions and deletions (indels), or homology directed repair (HDR), which incorporates a homologous strand as a repair template.
• NHEJ Non-Homologous End Joining
• Indels non-specific insertions and deletions
• HDR homology directed repair
• TALENs Transcription Activator-Like Effectors Nucleases target particular DNA sequences with tandem copies of Repeat Variable Diresidue (RVD) domains. See reference 6 hereby incorporated by reference in its entirtety. While the modular nature of RVDs simplifies TALEN design, their repetitive sequences complicate methods for synthesizing their DNA constructs (see references 2, 9, and 15-19 hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties) and also impair their use with lentiviral gene delivery vehicles.
• RVD Variable Diresidue
• Sensitivity is still an issue because, while high editing frequencies on the order of 50% are frequently reported for some cell types, such as U20S and K562 (see references 12 and 14 hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties), frequencies are generally lower in hiPSCs. See reference 10 hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Recently, high editing frequencies have been reported in hiPSC and hESC using TALENs (see reference 9 hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety), and even higher frequencies with the CRISPR Cas9-gRNA system (see references 16-19 hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. However, editing rates at different sites appear to vary widely (see reference 17 hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety), and editing is sometimes not detectable at all at some sites (see reference 20 hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety).
