This presentation describes the architecture of zinc finger nucleases, which are engineered proteins used for genome editing.

This is part of a series (see playlist) that also covers
Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs)
CRISPR adaptive immune systems
Using CRISPR/Cas9 for genome editing
CRISPR specificity
Precision editing
Homology directed repair
Prime editing

This presentation is primarily aimed at university students, researchers, clinicians and journalists interested in fields related to molecular biology and genetics. It is for education purposes only.
