Simple and Rapid Assembly of TALE Modules Based on the Degeneracy of the Codons and Trimer Repeats
Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) have been effectively used for targeted genome editing, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modification, and locus-specific DNA imaging. However, with the advent of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/Cas9 system, an easy-to...
