Mechanism Branch
Layer 1
Mechanisms
Top-level concepts: biophysical action modes such as heterodimerization, photocleavage, or RNA binding.
Layer 2
Architectures
Arrangements that realize or deploy mechanisms, including switches, construct patterns, and delivery strategies.
Layer 3
Components
Low-level parts and sequence-defined elements used inside architectures, including protein domains and RNA elements.
Technique Branch
Layer 1
Approaches
High-level engineering practices such as computational design, directed evolution, sequence verification, and functional assay.
Layer 2
Methods
Concrete methods used to design, build, verify, or characterize engineered systems.

This delivery harness consists of viral vectors generated to express light-inducible recombinases in vivo. In the cited RecV system, Cre, Dre, and Flp were combined with the blue-light-responsive Vivid module to enable light-triggered genomic recombination in live mouse brain under one-photon or two-photon illumination.
The red light-inducible recombinase library is a set of light-responsive recombination constructs reported in mammalian cells. It was applied to direct patterned myogenesis in a mesenchymal fibroblast-like cell line.
The light-inducible antibiotic resistance toolkit is an optogenetic multi-component switch in Escherichia coli that uses light-inducible Cre recombinase to activate antibiotic resistance gene expression. It confers blue-light-dependent survival under otherwise lethal antibiotic treatment and has been demonstrated for carbenicillin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline resistance.
