To generate a tissue specific knockout mouse, researchers breed a mouse bearing a Cre transgene under a tissue- or cell-type specific or inducible promoter (A) with a homozygous floxed mouse (B). The ...
“One limitation [of Cre-LoxP], the focus of this editorial, is the potential loss of fidelity of Cre recombinase expression especially in the context of modeling cancer in mice.” “It is based on ...

One-step creation of Cre-loxP organisms: Precise control and modification of gene expression
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...
A new editorial paper was published in Oncoscience (Volume 10) on November 14, 2023, entitled, "Be mindful of potential pitfalls when using the Cre-LoxP system in cancer research." In this new ...
Before CRISPR-based methods took center stage in the genome editing field, other bio-inspired tools such as zinc finger nucleases and Cre-lox system recombinases made genomic engineering possible.
