Design Notes

In constructing variant lox sites, we looked for the least promiscuous sites - those that had the lowest rates of recombination with other variants.


Source

We learned about the use of variant lox sites to produce random fluorescent protein expression from the "Brainbow" paper (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v450/n7166/full/nature06293.html). We discovered this specific sequence in "Role of nucleotide sequences of loxP spacer region in Cre-mediated recombination" (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9714735
