Recombinase Project News
October 29, 2009
- The first edition of MGI's Recombinase Allele Project was
released October 29, 2009. Data are being curated from the
scientific literature and integrated from projects underway at collaborating
organizations. (See the Collaborators tab, below).
- MGI is part of the CREATE (Coordination of resources for conditional expression of mutated mouse alleles) consortium.

MGI-Mouse Recombinase (cre): About
| Cre is currently the most commonly used recombinase. It catalyzes site-specific recombination of DNA between loxP sites, thus making possible conditional mutagenesis, where specific genes can be knocked out in particular tissues and at particular developmental time points. Other non-cre recombinases (such as Flp, Dre, phiC31, etc.) and various inducible forms of recombinases have been and are being developed. MGI is curating data about all recombinase-containing transgenes and knock-ins developed in mice to provide a comprehensive resource delineating known specificity patterns and allowing users to find relevant mouse resources for their studies. |
| Available data will continue to increase. To retrieve all recombinase-containing transgenes and knock-in alleles, use RETRIEVE ALL ALLELES. |
| The Recombinase Specificity project at MGI is funded by NIH grants HG000330 and HD033745 and EU grant HEALTH-F4-2009-223487. |
