What is Zinc Finger Nucleases: Genome Editing Tools about?
Zinc finger nucleases are artificial enzymes that can precisely edit genomes. They contain a zinc finger domain that binds to a specific DNA sequence and a nuclease domain that cuts DNA. A pair of ZFNs make a double-strand break that can then be repaired through endogenous DNA repair pathways, allowing for precise genome editing. ZFNs have been used to modify genes in many organisms and hold promise for applications like gene therapy.
