Establishment of a Cre/loxP recombination system for N-terminal epitope tagging of genes in <it>Tetrahymena</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Epitope tagging is a powerful strategy to study the function of proteins. Although tools for C-terminal protein tagging in the ciliated protozoan <it>Tetrahymena thermophila </it>have been developed, N-terminal protein ta...
