text:
In genetic engineering, floxing refers to the insertion of a DNA sequence between two LoxP sequences, creating an artificial gene cassette which can then be conditionally deleted, translocated, or inverted in a process called Cre-Lox recombination. Recombination between LoxP sites is catalysed by Cre recombinase. The term "floxing" is a portmanteau constructed from the phrase "flanking/flanked by LoxP". The floxing method is essential in the development of scientific model systems as it allows r
