Cre-loxP recombination vectors for promoter studies

For promoter studies the cloning, subcloning and transfer to different plasmid vectors usually requires use of restriction enzymes and ligation reactions. One obstacle is the nucleotide polymorphisms of eukaryotic genomic DNA, which has the consequence that a sequence often differs from published se...
