Site-specific recombinase technology

Site-specific recombinase technology is kind of like cutting and pasting in real life. It is a way of cutting pieces of DNA and moving them from one place to another. Scientists can use this technology to change one piece of DNA for another or to mix pieces of DNA from different sources together to make something new. This can help us answer scientific questions and develop treatments for diseases.
