A single reporter mouse line for Vika, Flp, Dre, and Cre-recombination

Abstract Site-specific recombinases (SSR) are utilized as important genome engineering tools to precisely modify the genome of mice and other model organisms. Reporter mice that mark cells that at any given time had expressed the enzyme are frequently used for lineage tracing and to characterize new...
