Abstract excerpt
Translational research on the Cre/loxP recombination system focuses on enhancing its specificity by modifying Cre/DNA interactions. Despite extensive efforts, the exact mechanisms governing Cre discrimination between substrates remains elusive. Cre recognizes 13 bp inverted repeats, initiating recombination in the 8 bp spacer region. While literature suggests that efficient recombination proceeds between lox...
