Abstract
The widespread use of zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) for genome engineering is hampered by the fact that only a subset of sequences can be efficiently recognized using published finger archives. We describe a set of validated two-finger modules that complement existing finger archives and expand the range of ZFN-accessible sequences threefold. Using this archive, we introduced lesions at 9 of 11 target sites in the zebrafish genome.

Supplementary Table 1
List of all two-finger modules obtained after B1H-based selections from the Asn+3F2 library and the His+3F2 library. Recognition helix sequences (–1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) for finger 1 and finger 2 for selected two-finger modules are shown for two-finger modules selected for zinc-finger binding sites (gaNNcg where NN represents the 2-bp interface). The amino acid at position 3 of finger 2 can either be Asn or His depending on the zinc finger library used. The selection conditions (3-AT, IPTG and uracil concentrations) are given. For selection of two-finger modules that bind the G-G interface with the Asn+3F2 library, a mutant homeodomain binding site (TAAAGG) was used. (XLS 102 kb)
Supplementary Table 2
List of all two-finger modules and target sites for the assembly of ZFNs. Recognition helix sequences for F1 and F2 of each two-finger module are shown. (XLS 57 kb)
