A method of stimulating homologous recombination by creating at least one nick in a targeted polynucleotide sequence. Wherein nonhomologous recombination is suppressed resulting in increasing the ratio of targeted to nontargeted events. A method of increasing double strand break-initiated gene targeting by inducing a nick in a targeted polynucleotide sequence, wherein overall recombination levels are increased. A method of increasing homologous recombination employing a recombinase that releases the ends in living cells by stimulating homolgous recombination to higher levels than those attainable with standard nucleases. A composition for stimulating homologous recombination including a nicking mechanism for creating nicks in a polynucleotide, wherein the nicking mechanism stimulates homologous recombination. A composition for stimulating homologous recombination including a nicking endonucleases. Various kits for stimulating homologous recombination. A method for modulating and channeling site-specific DNA stand breaks by shepherding the DNA strand breaks to particular recombination pathways.
A method of stimulating homologous recombination by creating a single-strand nick in a targeted polynucleotide sequence including a recombination signal sequence (RSS) by enzymatic digestion by a mutant V(D)J recombinase chosen from the group consisting of RAG-1 980 and RAG-1 838/839/840, and stimulating homologous recombination.
A method of increased stimulation of homologous recombination by creating a single-strand nick in a targeted polynucleotide strand including a recombination signal sequence (RSS) with a RAG protein mutation chosen from the group consisting of RAG-1 980 and RAG-1 838/839/840;
A method of increasing double strand break-initiated gene targeting by inducing a single-strand nick in a targeted polynucleotide sequence including a recombination signal sequence (RSS) by stimulated homologous recombination by a mutant V(D)J recombinase chosen from the group consisting of RAG-1 980 and RAG-1 838/839/840, wherein overall recombination levels are increased.
A method of gene targeting by homologously recombining a targeted gene including a recombination signal sequence (RSS) by creating a single-strand nick in the targeted gene by a mutant V(D)J recombinase chosen from the group consisting of RAG-1 980 and RAG-1 838/839/840.
