Introductions

Plant Genome Editing via TALEN

TALEN (transcription activator-like effector nuclease) is an artificially modified restriction endonuclease, composed of a DNA recognition domain and an endonuclease cleavage domain (Fok I). The principle of TALEN technology is not complicated. First, the DNA recognition element of TALEN binds to the target DNA site. Secondly, under the action of FokI nuclease, the specific site is cut. Finally, with the help of the inherent homology-directed repair (HDR) or non-homologous end joining pathway (NHEJ) in the cell, specific sequences are repaired, that is gene knockout, gene knock-in, and specific site mutation. Today, TALEN technology has been widely used in corn, rice, wheat, barley and other crops. The targeted modification of endogenous genes in crops by TALEN gene editing technology provides a new way for crop genetic improvement. Using this technology to delete large chromosomal segments can quickly knock out gene clusters that control undesirable traits, and achieve rapid genetic improvement of crops.

Advantages

  • No restriction on gene sequence, cell or species.
  • The success rate is almost 100%. The off-target rate is low, and there is no obvious off-target effect yet.
  • The target is highly sequence specific on the genome.
  • It overcomes the problems that the conventional ZFN method cannot recognize any target gene sequence, and the recognition sequence is often affected by upstream and downstream sequences, and has higher targeting activity than ZFN.
  • TALEN technology is a gene knockout at the DNA level, completely solving the bottleneck of RNA interference technology knocking down only at the mRNA level.
  • The experiment design is simple and accurate, the experiment period is short, and the cost is low.
  • It Can be applied to gene knockout, gene knock-in, gene modification, gene activation or inhibition, etc.
  • Flexible binding domain and functional domain design, you can choose TALEN, TALE-TF or other TAL effectors.

※ It should be noted that our service is only used for research.
