A method for making a change in an endogenous chromosomal DNA sequence of a mammalian cell, comprising steps of: (i) introducing into said cell an oligonucleotide having a sequence that is complementary to the chromosomal DNA sequence and that includes the change; (ii) allowing sufficient time for the cell to incorporate the change into the endogenous chromosomal DNA sequence through endogenous nucleic acid modifying pathways; and (iii) identifying the presence of the change in the chromosomal DNA sequence. The invention is particularly useful for correcting mutations in the CFTR gene.
