Abstract

More efficient transfer of genes into host cells or embryos to transform the cells or embryos is facilitated by transposition vectors using the minimal amount of nucleotide sequences in the transposon piggyBac required for gene transfer. The transformed cells or embryos may be developed into transgenic organisms.
