Understanding the structure of the TAL effector may be key for targeted gene correction

Thursday, January 5, 2012 - 14:00 in Biology & Nature

Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have solved the three-dimensional structure of a newly discovered type of gene-targeting protein that has shown to be useful as a DNA-targeting molecule for gene correction, gene therapy and gene modification. The findings are published online in Science Express on Jan. 5.
