Optimal use of Cre mediated recombination in conditional animal models depends on well characterized Cre driver lines. Unfortunately, some Cre driver lines exhibit unexpected expression patterns hindering their utility in Cre/loxP systems. Thus, systematic assessment of new Cre lines is essential for generating useful Cre driver lines for future studies.
