a

Breeding strategy: A: Targetf/f; Cre driver X Target+/+; B: Targetf/+; Cre driver X Target+/+.

b

The numbers (x/y) indicate that x offspring with germline recombination were found from y offspring with the target locus in cumulative data from multiple clutches.

c

The associated publication reported the generation and characterization of the Cre driver lines but not detailed information about germline recombination.

d
