Overview
Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) have a non-specific DNA-cleaving nuclease fused to a DNA-binding domain that can be easily engineered so that TALENs can target essentially any sequence.
TALENs have generated much interest and excitement because they can be very easily and rapidly designed by researchers using a simple ‘protein-DNA code’ that relates modular DNA-binding TALE repeat domains to individual bases in a target-binding site.
