  • Title: High-efficiency FLP and PhiC31 site-specific recombination in mammalian cells.
    Author: Raymond CS, Soriano P.
    Journal: PLoS One; 2007 Jan 17; 2(1):e162. PubMed ID: 17225864.
    Abstract:
    DNA site-specific recombinases (SSRs) such as Cre, FLPe, and phiC31, are powerful tools for analyzing gene function in vertebrates. While the availability of multiple high-efficiency SSRs would facilitate a wide array of genomic engineering possibilities, efficient recombination in mammalian cells has only been observed with Cre recombinase. Here we report the de novo synthesis of mouse codon-optimized FLP (FLPo) and PhiC31 (PhiC31o) SSRs, which result in recombination efficiencies similar to Cre.
