Genomic targeting of a bicistronic DNA fragment by Cre-mediated site-specific recombination.
Gene - 12 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt
The Cre-recombinase of bacteriophage P1 catalyses site-specific recombination between DNA fragments containing loxP sites. Targeting of predefined genomic loci can be achieved by Cre-mediated linkage of a promoterless resistance marker gene to a floxed promoter pre-existing in the genome. In order to avoid the introduction of plasmid sequences into the host genome, we have constructed a series of plasmids in...
