Fig. 1. (A) According to the chromosome territory model, during interphase each chromosome resides in a unique region within the nucleus, thus separating the two LoxP sites into different chromosomal territories (colored sectors). (B) During chromosomal resortment at mitotic metaphase, the two LoxP sites can stochastically come in close contact for Cre-mediated translocation to occur.
