Pre-designed CompoZr Knockout zinc finger nucleases
Sigma Life Science's pre-designed CompoZr Knockout zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are designed to knockout any gene in the human genome.
Priced to fit within the budget of a typical laboratory, these ZFNs can
generate permanent and heritable gene knockouts in human cell lines within
weeks.
Sigma has designed CompoZr ZFNs that will produce a knockout in each gene by
inducing a double-strand break at a defined site within the gene’s first
three exons. This double strand break stimulates the cell's natural DNA
repair pathways, resulting in a permanent, site-specific deletion or
mutation that disrupts the gene’s function. Robust and on-target gene
knockout using CompoZr Knockout ZFNs is guaranteed by functional validation
prior to shipment and unique enhancements to the DNA-recognition and
cleavage ZFN subunits.
More sophisticated genetic modifications, such as single nucleotide
substitutions, can be generated through Sigma Life Science’s CompoZr Custom
ZFN Service.
