Tre recombinase is an experimental enzyme that in lab tests has successfully removed DNA inserted by HIV from infected cells[1]. The enzyme was derived from Cre recombinase through selective mutation for the purposes of identifying HIV markers, which are not bounded by loxP sites and therefore disallow attempts at Cre-Lox recombination.
