Abstract

DNA recombination can be effected through transposition by injecting a host with a transposition vector prepared from the terminal sequences of the Hermes element of M. domestica on either side of a structural gene to be expressed in the recombinant host. Transposition can be improved by use of a helper plasmid including the transposase gene of Hermes operably linked to a promoter sequence effective in the host.
