The past decade has brought rapid and significant innovations in genome-editing techniques. For the first time researchers have the opportunity to manipulate essentially any gene in a plethora of cells and organisms, using targeted nucleases that were designed for sequence-specific binding of the DNA.
This review gives a short primer on gene editing followed by some of the foundational work in gene editing and subsequently a discussion of programmable nucleases leading to a description of Zinc Finger Nuclease, TALENs and CRISPRs.
In this review, the authors compare methods for detecting nuclease off-target mutations. They also review methods for profiling genome-wide off-target effects and discuss how to reduce or avoid offtarget mutations.
