Abstract

Luo et al. report variable rates of germline recombination in commonly used mouse Cre driver lines, influenced by sex of Cre-carrying parents and target loci. Guidelines are provided to optimize cell-type-specific recombination in genetically targeted organisms expressing site-specific recombinases.
