Balancer chromosomes are special, modified chromosomes used for genetically screening a population of organisms to select for heterozygotes. Balancer chromosomes can be used as a genetic tool to prevent crossing over (genetic recombination) between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Balancers are most often used in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) genetics to allow populations of flies carrying heterozygous mutations to be maintained without constantly screening for the mutations but can also be used in mice. [1] Balancer chromosomes have three important properties: they suppress recombination with their homologs, carry dominant markers, and negatively affect reproductive fitness when carried homozygously.

In genetics, Flp- FRT recombination is a site-directed recombination technology, increasingly used to manipulate an organism's DNA under controlled conditions in vivo . It is analogous to Cre- lox recombination but involves the recombination of sequences between short flippase recognition target ( FRT ) sites by the recombinase flippase(Flp)derived from the 2 µm plasmid of baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . The 34bp minimal FRT site sequence has the sequence 5' GAAGTTCCTATTC tctagaaa G t ATAGGAACTTC 3' for which flippase (Flp) binds to both 13-bp 5'-GAAGTTCCTATTC-3' arms flanking the 8 bp spacer, i.e. the site-specific recombination (region of crossover) in reverse orientation. FRT -mediated cleavage occurs just ahead from the asymmetric 8bp core region ( 5' tctagaaa 3' ) on the top strand and behind this sequence on the bottom strand. [1] Several variant FRT sites exist, but recombination can usually occur only between two identic

[1] He was educated at University of Wales, Bangor and at University College London from 1913-1914, graduating with Honours in Philosophy. He was admitted to Middle Temple on 10 January 1914. Morris served continually in the armed forces during the First World War from December 1914 until January 1919, possessing the rank of Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers by the end of the war and being twice wounded - the second time seriously. He was mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Order of the British Empire (milita
