ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a Dre/rox recombinase system. In particular, the invention provides Dre polypeptides that can catalyze site-specific recombination at rox sites but not at lox sites. The Dre/rox system can be utilized in a number of genetic manipulations either alone or in combination with other recombinase systems.
