The major conclusion of this study is that our novel split-Cre complementation system introduces both temporal and special control of site specific recombination using Cre recombinase enzyme. This system solved many drawbacks have emerged during the extensive use of Cre recombinase in molecular biology. The complemented protein is almost as efficient as the Full CRE in the recombination activity (~95%). Moreover, each fragment lacks the recombinase activity. This system allows precise genetic manipulation
