  • Patent number: 11066676
    Abstract: Methods of gene stacking are described herein. The methods can be used to repeatedly add genes into a chosen locus in a precise manner, which ensures co-segregation of all introduced genes and contributes to the stabilization of gene expression. In addition, methods of removing any additional foreign DNA elements such as selectable markers are provided. Seed stocks or cell lines comprising a gene stacking site, vectors containing an insert flanked by target sites for a site-specific DNA recombinase for use in the methods and kits for carrying out the methods are also provided herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2021

  • Patent number: 6114600
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing a transgenic cell having a stably integrated, single copy of an exogenous polynucleotide sequence. The method, which resolves repeated insertions of the introduced polynucleotide sequence into a single copy, involves introducing into a genetic locus of a cell a polynucleotide sequence flanked on each end by a recombination site. The recombination sites are oriented such that contact with a recombinase would not result in deletion of the polynucleotide sequence from the construct. The multiple, tandem copies of the introduced polynucleotide locus are then contacted with a recombinase that catalyzes recombination among the recombination sites. As a result of this method, the multiple, tandem copies are resolved to a single copy.
