First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for modifying one or more endogenous cellular genes in a rat cell, the method comprising:
- introducing, into the rat cell, one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) that bind to a target site in the one or more genes under conditions such that the ZFN(s) is (are) expressed and the one or more endogenous cellular genes are cleaved and modified.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for genome editing of one or more loci in a rat, using fusion proteins comprising a zinc-finger protein and a cleavage domain or cleavage half-domain. Polynucleotides encoding said fusion proteins are also provided, as are cells comprising said polynucleotides and fusion proteins.
