This document lists 10 research articles published between 2009-2013 that describe advances in the development and application of TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases), a type of engineered nuclease used for genome editing. Key findings include the development of new assembly methods and techniques for customizing TALENs to target specific DNA sequences, using TALENs to successfully edit genes in various organisms like mice, livestock and frogs, and determining preferences of different TAL effector repeat variable di-residues (RVDs) when binding DNA.
