  • Hyperactive, non-phosphorylated, mutant transposases of mariner mobile genetic elements
    Patent number: 7732209
    Abstract: The invention relates to hyperactive, non-phosphorylated, mutant transposases of mariner mobile genetic elements. The invention also relates to recombinant nucleotide sequences encoding such transposases. The invention further relates to a method of producing said transposases and to the use thereof for in vitro or in vivo transposition.

  • Process for the Production, in Prokaryotes, of Active, Stable Transposases of Mariner Mobile Genetic Elements
    Publication number: 20090311743
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production, by a prokaryotic host cell, of an active, stable transposase of a Mariner mobile genetic element belonging to the mauritiana subfamily. The invention also relates to an active, stable transposase that can be produced using such a process, and to the molecular biology tools, such as the prokaryotic host cells, the expression vectors or the kits, which make it possible to produce an active, stable transposase, or which use it. In addition, the present invention relates to the uses of the active, stable transposases.
