Systematic optimization and prediction of cre recombinase for precise genome editing in mice
The Cre-Lox system remains indispensable for genetic engineering, offering flexibility beyond standalone applications by integrating with CRISPR-based methods to expand its utility. Despite challenges, our findings provide a framework for optimizing Cre-mediated recombination. By refining Cre-Lox strategies, this knowledge enhances experimental precision, improves reproducibility, and ultimately reduces the time and cost of genome modification.
