1. A recombinant meganuclease comprising a polypeptide which has at least 85% sequence identity to residues 2-153 of the I-CreI meganuclease of SEQ ID NO:

  • 1, wherein the DNA-binding affinity of said recombinant meganuclease has been altered compared to the DNA binding affinity of the wild-type I-CreI meganuclease of SEQ ID NO;

    1, and wherein said polypeptide comprises at least one modification affecting DNA-binding affinity corresponding to a substitution in the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO;

    1 selected from the group consisting of;
