[edit] Keep the page!

I like having this page here and having it linked to Cre-LoxP recombination. I'll introduce a link to this page from the main site.

One describes the process, this page is dedicated to the protein itself. Dr Aaron 22:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Since it's a stub and the other is a complete article, why not combine them. When I searched for "loxp" I was linked to this article but not to Cre-LoxP article. Ideally a search for either Cre recombinase or LoxP would lead to the Cre-LoxP recombination article. I think Cre recombinase is not conceptually seperate enough from it's function on LoxP sites to justify a seperate article. Definitely put the information into the Cre-LoxP recomination article though.

[edit] plagiarism?

The definition for this entry is exactly the same as the definition of Cre recombinase from the New England Biolabs commercial products site, with the exception that they actually include references, does this not qualify as plagiarism? Ukmarta 09:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

If this is true, can you please re-write it if you have time? It would be better for it to be re-worded, rather than deleted. Thanks in advance, Dr Aaron 10:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
