At present this article exclusively deals with Cre-loxP recombination and as such could be merged into that page. On the other hand, perhaps this article could be expanded to talk about other site-specific recombination systems being utilised in molecular biology such as Flp-FRT or Xer-cer.

The fact that, for humans and mice, a small set of orthologues implicated in reproduction, host defence and immunity have been subject to selection and thereby modification should not distract from major compliances which explain the extraortrdinary relevance of murin genome projects (among these EUCOMM).
