... long asymmetric core spacer sequence. The asymmetry in the core sequence gives the loxP site directionality...the canonical loxP sequence is ATAACTTCGTATA-GCATACAT-TATACGAAGTTAT. The loxP sequence does not occur naturally...in P1) sites are 34-base-pair long recognition sequences consisting of two 13-bp long palindromic repeats...inserting loxP sites at deliberate locations in a DNA sequence allows for very specific manipulations as discussed...or on separate pieces of DNA. Both 13bp repeat sequences on a single loxP site are recognized and bound...: If the sites face in the same direction, the sequence between the loxP sites is excised as a circular...indicates which bases may vary from the canonical sequence. Among these are loxN (GtATACcT), lox2272 (GgATACtT...
