| Abstract |
Transcription activator-like effector (TALE) nuclease (TALEN) is the second-generation genome editing tool consisting of TALE protein containing customizable DNA-binding repeats and nuclease domain of FokI enzyme. Each DNA-binding repeat recognizes one base of double-strand DNA, and functional TALEN can be created by a simple modular assembly of these repeats. To easily and efficiently assemble the highly repetitive DNA-binding repeat arrays, various construction systems such as Golden Gate assembly, serial ligation, and ligation-independent cloning have been reported. In this chapter, we summarize the current situation of these systems and publically available reagents and protocols, enabling optimal selection of best suited systems for every researcher who wants to utilize TALENs in various research fields. |
