A method for modulating double-strand break-induced mutagenesis at a genomic locus of interest in a cell, thereby giving new tools for genome engineering, including therapeutic applications and cell line engineering. A method for modulating double-strand break-induced mutagenesis, concerns the identification of effectors that modulate double-strand break-induced mutagenesis by use of interfering agents; these agents are capable of modulating double-strand break-induced mutagenesis through their respective direct or indirect actions on said effectors. Methods of using these effectors, interfering agents and derivatives, respectively, by introducing them into a cell in order to modulate and more particularly to increase double-strand break-induced mutagenesis. Specific derivatives of identified effectors and interfering agents, vectors encoding them, compositions and kits comprising such derivatives for modulating or increasing double-strand break-induced mutagenesis.

Method for modulating the efficiency of double-strand break-induced mutagenesis

The present invention concerns a method for modulating double-strand break-induced homologous recombination through the identification of effectors that modulate said double-strand break-induced homologous recombination by uses of interfering agents; these agents are capable of modulating double-strand break-induced homologous recombination through their respective actions on said effectors. The present invention also concerns the uses of these effectors and interfering agents and derivatives, respectively, by introducing them in an eukaryotic cell in order to modulate and more particularly to increase double-strand break-induced homologous recombination and gene targeting efficiency. The present invention also relates to specific derivatives of identified effectors and interfering agents, vectors encoding them, compositions and kits comprising such derivatives in order to modulate and more particularly to increase double-strand break-induced homologous recombination and gene targeting efficiency.
