• On-demand webinar: Watch this webinar as
we examine genetic engineering of iPSCs
derived from Parkinson's disease samples,
which provide model systems to study disease
mechanisms in cell types not previously available.

Figure 6. TAL effector DNA-binding domain. The structure of the DNA-binding domain can be manipulated to
produce a protein domain that binds specifically to any DNA sequence in the genome. TAL effector repeats can be
assembled modularly, varying the RVDs to create a TAL protein that recognizes a specific target DNA sequence.
Linking the repeats is straightforward, and long TAL effectors can be designed to specifically target any locus in
the genome.
