What are Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs)?
Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs) are artificial restriction enzymes generated by fusing a specific DNA-binding domain, derived from transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs), to a DNA cleavage domain. These engineered nucleases have become invaluable tools for genome editing due to their high specificity and efficiency in targeting desired DNA sequences.
