Site-specific recombination is a process by which DNA strands are rearranged at particular sites within the genome, allowing for the integration, excision, or rearrangement of genetic material. This mechanism is characterized by the specific recognition of short DNA sequences by recombinase enzymes, which mediate the recombination events.
