1. A method of altering target DNA in a stem cell expressing a Cas 9 enzyme that forms a co-localization complex with a guide RNA complementary to the target DNA and that cleaves the target DNA in a site specific manner comprising
(a) introducing into the stem cell a first foreign nucleic acid encoding the guide RNA complementary to the target DNA and which guides the enzyme to the target DNA, wherein the RNA and the enzyme are members of a co-localization complex for the target DNA, introducing into the stem cell a second foreign nucleic acid encoding a donor nucleic acid sequence, wherein the guide RNA and the donor nucleic acid sequences are expressed, wherein the guide RNA and the Cas 9 enzyme co-localize to the target DNA, the Cas 9 enzyme cleaves the target DNA and the donor nucleic acid is inserted into the target DNA to produce altered DNA in the stem cell. |
