Abstract: Disclosed herein are homology-independent targeted integration methods of integrating an exogenous DNA sequence into a genome of a non-dividing cell and compositions for such methods. Methods herein comprise contacting the non-dividing cell with a composition comprising a targeting construct comprising the exogenous DNA sequence and a targeting sequence, a complementary strand oligonucleotide homologous to the targeting sequence, and a nuclease, thereby altering the genome of the non-dividing cell.

Abstract: Provided is a novel therapeutic agent for a disease caused by a dominant gene mutation (7). A therapeutic agent of the present invention comprises a donor DNA (20) that contains a polynucleotide having the following sequences (a) to (c): (a) a normal gene (1); (b) a first reverse target sequence (2a) that is located upstream of the normal gene (1) and that is cleaved by a designer nuclease; and (c) a second reverse target sequence (2b) that is located downstream of the normal gene (1) and that is cleaved by the designer nuclease, where the reverse target sequences (2a, 2b) each mean a sequence obtained by inverting a target sequence (6) that is present in the genome and that is cleaved by the designer nuclease.
