Integrases/Excisionases pairs to test
We will start to test 3 pairs of the serine integrase family. Integrases from this family are interesting because they do not require specific cofactors and have been shown to work in a wide range of species. These 3 pairs are the best characterized members from the family which have an identified excisionase.
