Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel process for the production of transgenic organisms or transgenic cells, to transgenic orgaisms or transgenic cells obtainable by the process of the present invention, to the use of vectors comprising DNA encoding a recombination promoting enzymes for curing impairments caused by environmental influences in plants or plant cells and for gene therapy in mammals or mammalian cells, and to novel vectors.
