German term or phrase: Schnittstellen

Mit Hilfe der Gentechnik wird zudem versucht, die Frequenzen für eine homologe Rekombination in Pflanzen zu erhöhen, zum Beispiel durch die Expression von Enzymen, die an wenigen Stellen des pflanzlichen Genoms Schnitte einfügen, um dort die homologe Rekombination zu induzieren.
Ein besonders viel versprechender Ansatz ist die Integration von Schnittstellen für eine Rekombinase, wie sie auch für die Eliminierung von Markergenen genutzt wird.

These enzymes cut DNA molecules each at a
specific site. These observations made it possible to
isolate genes, to clone them and analyze their
biochemical structure in great detail. Following the
action of restriction endonucleases, there often arise
so-called cohesive ends in the DNA molecules [58],
which tend to join together. By this means it is
possible for example to join together DNA from
any eukaryotic organism and that from the bacterial
plasmids. Such recombinant DNA molecules were
first constructed by David Jackson et al. [59], Peter
Lobban and Armin Kaiser [60] and Stanley Cohen
et al. [61]. Cloned DNA molecules can be
physically mapped, using the cutting points of the
restriction endonucleases as markers, ...

precursor project, which has since been concluded, demonstrated that it is possible to excise a gene from the plant genome using the "I-SceI" cutting sites. The next step is to integrate this gene at a different, precisely defined position in the plant genome by homologous recombination. This requires a specific site of integration , or target locus, in which to insert the gene sequence, or targeting vector.
