Abstract
To the Editor: Miller et al.1 recently described a transcription activator–like effector nuclease (TALEN) architecture for efficient genome editing in cultured human cells. We sought to determine whether the same framework could be used to efficiently disrupt endogenous genes in somatic cells of zebrafish and how the efficiency of TALENs compares with that obtained using engineered zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs).
