Line 1: '''Site-specific recombinase (SSR) technology''' allows for the manipulation of genetic material in order to explore gene function. The success of the [[Human Genome Project]] has made [[recombinant DNA technology]] an inevitable next step in molecular biology and genetics. As a mechanism of [[DNA recombination]], site-specific recombinase (SSR) technology is transforming mouse genetics. One specific SSR system, [[Cre-Lox Recombination\|CreloxP]] (i.e. locus of [[chromosomal crossover]] (x) in the [[bacteriophage]] P1), facilitates the recombination of specific sequences of DNA with high fidelity. ==Mechanism==
