To nick or not to nick: comparison of I-SceI single- and double-strand break-induced recombination in yeast and human cells.

Genetic modification of a chromosomal locus to replace an existing dysfunctional allele with a corrected sequence can be accomplished through targeted gene correction using the cell's homologous recombination (HR) machinery. Gene targeting is stimulated by generation of a DNA double-strand brea...
