Overall project
Since April 2012, we are working in the field of so called TAL effectors in our lab. TAL effectors are molecular components that are fused to DNA binding proteins in order to restrict their acticvity to specific loci in a genome. In particular, we develop a strategy to cheaply create novel TAL effectors in an extremely short period of time. This new method will enable us to test numerous novel effectors in human cells and to assess their therapeutic potential for genetic diseases, epigenetic alterations and cancer.
We hope you will leran something about our project and the power of TAL effectors.
1. Building the Toolkit
Learn about the theory behind the TAL effector toolkit, how we created it and why we choose this design.
2. Using the Toolkit
Create your own is the inoffical motto of our toolkit, we know how to use it, but we want you to know.
Read this instruction and start working with the toolkit yourself.
3. The future of TAL
TAL effectors are so new that we cant even talk about a history of TAL, but we should talk about
their future. Our toolkit is not just easy to use but also its easy to automatable, we can proof that our kit is
easiely workable by a robot
