Cre-Lox recombination is a site-specific recombinase technology, used to carry out deletions, insertions, translocations and inversions at specific sites in the DNA of cells. It allows the DNA …

Cre-Lox recombination is a genetic technique that involves the use of the Cre recombinase enzyme to manipulate DNA sequences flanked by specific loxP sites, leading to deletions, …

Unlock the power of the Cre/lox system for tissue-specific, inducible knockouts and advanced gene tracking in mouse models. Learn practical breeding schemes to simplify complexity, …

Jan 13, 2015 · Overview of Cre-lox recombination and how it is used to make DNA modifications in transgenic animals, embryonic stem cells, and tissue-specific cell types.

Jul 23, 2025 · Cre-Lox recombination is a sophisticated genetic engineering technique that provides scientists with precise control over gene expression within living organisms.

As the name suggests, the Cre-Lox system relies on two components to function: a Cre recombinase, and its recognition site, loxP. These components have been adapted from the …

Oct 13, 2020 · The Cre-Lox recombination system enables the generation of tissue-specific or inducible knockouts with a high level of control over the spatial and temporal expression of …

The Cre enzyme identifies pairs of loxP sites (arrowheads), which flank (flox) the DNA, and catalyzes reciprocal DNA recombination between the two sites to excise a small piece of DNA.
