| Open AccessDiversifying the structure of zinc finger nucleases for high-precision genome editing
Genome editing often requires cleavage within a narrow sequence window. Here the authors develop an expanded set of zinc finger nuclease architectures that increase the available configurations by a factor of 64 and can target almost every base at loci of therapeutic significance.

| Open AccessNon-transgenic genome modifications in a hemimetabolous insect using zinc-finger and TAL effector nucleases
Hemimetabolous insects comprise many pests but introducing targeted mutations into these species has been difficult. This paper reports efficient targeted mutagenesis, and the generation of homozygous knockouts, in crickets based on zinc finger nucleases or transcription activator-like effector nucleases.
