Various tools can be used to achieve targeted DNA double strand break, which are collectively under the term “site directed nucleases” (SDNs), pointing out the general principle of the technology to use a DNA cutting enzyme (nuclease) for the generation of the targeted (i.e., site directed) double strand break facilitating targeted genome modification. This document is intended to serve as a reference for characterizing various technical outcomes of SDN as either “SDN-1”, “SDN-2” or “SDN-3”, categorizing them by the mechanism of the DNA repair process and the respective outcome.
