Gene editing tools. This figure reveals the mechanisms of targeted nucleases. From top to bottom: Meganucleases or homing endonucleases are nuclease enzymes that do not have separate DNA binding and cleavage domains, and recognize a 20–40 bp DNA sequence. Meganucleases may be utilized in all genome types to repair damaged genes in gene therapy by interrupting their DNA substrates as dimers.
