Meanwhile, Cellectis announced it now has «an umbrella patent» that its CEO, Andre Choulika, says «covers most of the gene editing procedures done with a nuclease,» including those based on CRISPR - Cas 9, TALENs, zinc fingers, and many meganucleases.

Cellectis used an older method called TALEN to target TCRαβ, but the revolutionary new CRISPR method has made it much easier and cheaper to create gene - editing tools.

It uses a gene - editing technique based on custom - made proteins called TALENs.

«Now that powerful gene - editing tools, such as TALENs, are readily available, the next step is to streamline their implementation into stem cell research,» said Dirk Hockemeyer, PhD, assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in this study.

The variety of new tools available for genetic manipulation now include lentiviral - based gene delivery, and gene editing using CRISPR / Cas9, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) or transcription activator - like effector nucleases (TALENs).

Programmable nucleases, ZFN, TALEN and RGENs enable gene knockout in cultured cells and organisms by producing site - specific DNA double - strand breaks, whose repair via error - prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or microhomology - mediated end joining (MMEJ) gives rise to frameshift mutations.

A Golden Gate TALEN kit (Addgene) was used to generate two sets of RVD plasmids corresponding to the sequences found in the first coding exon of the CCHa2 - R gene (1L, 1R, 2L, and 2R; S2 Fig).

CCHa2 - RKO51 - 2 and CCHa2 - RTAL - 34 are putative null alleles, which were generated by gene targeting using homologous recombination and TALEN, respectively (see below).

A patent application has been filed and testing is underway on the protein — called HT - TALENs (short for HIV - targeted transcription activator - like effector nucleases)-- which uses a newly developed gene - editing technique to rid the body's cells of the immunodeficiency virus before it has a chance to multiply and possibly develop into AIDS.

Two newer gene - editing methods — zinc finger nucleases, used since the late 1990s, and TALENs, first described in 2011 — allowed more precise modifications, he says, «but there was a real art and skill required, and only a handful of labs could do those.»
