Results for tag: "Zinc Finger Nuclease"

Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) are a type of engineered enzyme used in gene editing. They are composed of two parts: a zinc finger DNA-binding domain and a nuclease domain. The zinc finger domain binds to a specific sequence of DNA, while the nuclease domain cuts the DNA at that location. ZFNs are used to modify the genome of a cell, allowing researchers to study gene function and develop treatments for genetic diseases. ZFNs have been used in a variety of research applications, including gene therapy, gene knock-out, and gene knock-in. They have also been used to create animal models of human diseases, as well as to develop new crop varieties. The ZFN market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for gene editing technologies. Companies in the market include Sangamo Therapeutics, Cellectis, Editas Medicine, and CRISPR Therapeutics. Show Less Read more
