Introduction

Electron micrograph of the Ebola Zaire virus. This was the first photo ever taken of the virus, on 10/13/1976. By Dr. F.A. Murphy, now at U.C. Davis, then at the CDC.


Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs)are enzymes which can be used to cleave DNA at select points, makes them useful tools for genetic engineering. ZFNs are composed of a DNA binding-domain and a DNA cleaving-domain.

The insertion code consists of:
