Figure 3. Reciprocal translocations in ES cells.

Figure 3

Cre can catalyze a trans recombination between loxP sites targeted on different chromosomes. The resulting ES cells are balanced for the translocation and can be used to establish new chromosome-specific translocation lines or to study the effect of the disruption caused by the translocation itself. Black and gray chromosomes represent different autosomes.
