    Recombinase-mediated cassette exchange

    Traditional procedures used for transfer of GOIs are not sufficiently reliable, mostly because the relevant epigenetic principles have not been sufficiently explored: transgenes integrate into chromosomes with low efficiency and at loci that provide only sub-optimal conditions for their expression. ... this RMCE-principle is a process that can be repeated with the same or a different exchange plasmid.

    In biology, epigenetics is the study of changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence, hence the name epi- (Greek: επί- over, above) -genetics. ... Epigenetic Theory
