New DNA recombination toolbox surpasses CRISPR for genome engineering
Belgian researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology have extended the toolbox that uses a viral recombinase (Cre) so that it can now specifically recognize, cut and paste multiple DNA sites. The team has identified a set of 16 sites that recombine efficiently with the same […]
