Technique enables efficient gene splicing in human embryonic stem cells

From PhysOrg.com:

A novel technique allows researchers to efficiently and precisely modify or introduce genes into the genomes of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, according to Whitehead scientists. The method uses proteins called zinc finger nucleases and is described in the August 13 issue of Nature Biotechnology...this method could open a new phase in human genetics.
