A researcher has a mouse model of Huntington’s Disease, where sequencing has confirmed that the Huntingtin gene is affected, as occurred in humans with the condition. The researcher wants to try correcting the condition in the mouse model, using a targeted knock-in approach.
What would they in the DNA targeting vector?
