“…The advent of engineered nucleases provided a new opportunity to precisely study translocations by introducing DSBs in the regions of interest. Specific chromosomal translocations can now be generated from precisely induced DSBs using programmed nucleases such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) [ 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. A more sophisticated way to induce chromosomal translocations in cells would be to use proteins that naturally induce DNA damage and are known to be implicated in chromosomal translocations, reviewed in [ 85 , 86 ].…”
