This viral gene insertion is also known as a promoter insertion as it drives the expression of the c-myc gene.
This method ensures orientation-specific gene insertion.
She was a leader in the use of mice to understand the behavior of genes by researching the effect of gene insertion in embryonic cells.
The Food and Drug Administration is studying whether the gene insertions make the plants new products that require extensive safety tests.
But embryonic stem cells could well be a better vehicle for gene insertion to correct inherited gene defects.
Scorpion toxin genes are also used to kill insect pests by creating hypervirulent fungus in the insect through gene insertion.
The same technique can be used to create a gene insertion or deletion.
To account for possible gene insertion and rearrangement events during evolution, a natural extension is to consider gene clusters with ORF gaps.
Tests on the mice with the gene insertion can now take place.
As Read et al. [ 2] pointed out, dynamic events of gene shuffling, gene insertion and gene loss are apparent within this plasticity zone.
