Homing Endonucleases: Methods and Protocols by David R. Edgell

By David R. Edgell

Homing Endonucleases: tools and Protocols goals at delivering molecular biologists with a complete source to spot and signify homing endonucleases from genomic series, to infer the organic foundation of binding and cleavage specificity, in addition to to supply protocols to revamp endonuclease aim specificity for genome-editing purposes. Engineering of fashion designer homing endonucleases has set the level for genome modifying of complicated eukaryotic genomes with a large variety of capability functions together with specific gene knockouts in version organisms and gene treatment in people, making this booklet a invaluable source for destiny learn. Written within the hugely winning Methods in Molecular Biology sequence layout, chapters comprise introductions to their respective issues, lists of the mandatory fabrics and reagents, step by step, quite simply reproducible laboratory protocols and pointers on troubleshooting and warding off identified pitfalls.

Authoritative and useful, Homing Endonucleases: tools and Protocols serves as a key reference for all labs learning site-specific DNA endonucleases.

Nat Biotechnol 31:223–239 Chapter 2 Bioinformatic Identification of Homing Endonucleases and Their Target Sites Eyal Privman Abstract Homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) are a large, phylogenetically diverse superfamily of enzymes with high specificity for especially long target sites. The public genomic sequence databases contain thousands of HEGs. This is a large and diverse arsenal of potential genome editing tools. To make use of this natural resource, one needs to identify candidate HEGs. Due to their special relationship with a host gene, it is also possible to predict their cognate target sequences.
