TALEN Kits Available from Addgene

Addgene is a non-profit plasmid repository. We archive and distribute high quality plasmids from your colleagues. Contact us to learn more.

TALENs are important new tools for genome engineering. Fusions of transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors of plant pathogenic Xanthomonas spp. to the FokI nuclease, TALENs bind and cleave DNA in pairs. Binding specificity is determined by customizable arrays of polymorphic amino acid repeats in the TAL effectors. These collections and accompanying documentation allow one to efficiently assemble TALEN constructs with custom repeat arrays.
