1. A method of obtaining site-specific replacement of a DNA of interest in a mammalian cell, comprising:

  • a) providing a mammalian cell that comprises a receptor construct, wherein the receptor construct comprises a receptor polynucleotide to be replaced, the receptor polynucleotide being flanked by two or more copies of a irreversible recombination site (IRS);

    b) introducing into the cell a donor construct that comprises a donor polynucleotide to replace the receptor polynucleotide, the donor polynucleotide being flanked by two or more copies of a complementary irreversible recombination site (CIRS); and

    c) contacting the receptor construct and the donor construct with an irreversible recombinase polypeptide;

    wherein the irreversible recombinase catalyzes recombination between the IRS and the CIRS and replacement of the receptor polynucleotide with the donor polynucleotide, thereby forming a replacement construct.
