We report Transcription Activator-like Effector Nucleases (TALEN)-mediated mutagenesis of the Rett Syndrome gene, methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2), in nonhuman primates (NHPs). Microinjection of Mecp2-targeting TALEN plasmids into rhesus and cynomolgus zygotes caused 40-50% of the embryos harbor...
