  • Patent number: 11414680
    Abstract: A method is provided for integrating a DNA fragment of a desired base sequence into a site located adjacent to a binding region of a DNA-binding protein bound to a DNA molecule, the method including bringing the DNA fragment having a base sequence including a transposase-binding sequence and the desired base sequence close to the binding region using a specific binding substance to the DNA-binding protein, binding transposase to the transposase-binding sequence, and activating the transposase such that the DNA fragment of the desired base sequence is integrated into the site located adjacent to the binding region.

  • Publication number: 20190048414
    Abstract: A method for determining a nucleic acid sequence of a target gene expressed in a subject cell, the method including: comprehensively determining mRNA nucleic acid sequences in the subject cell, and identifying a nucleic acid sequence having a nucleic acid sequence of a portion of the target gene, from among the determined mRNA nucleic acid sequences, in which the identified nucleic acid sequence is a nucleic acid sequence of the target gene.
