Original Publication

Random and targeted transgene insertion in Caenorhabditis elegans using a modified Mos1 transposon. Frokjaer-Jensen C, Davis MW, Sarov M, Taylor J, Flibotte S, LaBella M, Pozniakovsky A, Moerman DG, Jorgensen EM. Nat Methods. 2014 May;11(5):529-34. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.2889. PMID: 24820376. Article

Description

The miniMos transposon is a modified Mos1 transposon that can be used to generate transgenic nematodes, including C. elegans and C. briggsae . The Mos1 transposon has been modified to allow transposition with cargo at high frequency and at high fidelity. Transgenes inserted into the miniMos transposon can be integrated in the genome as a single copy by injection or by heat-shock. Insertions are selected for with genetic markers ( unc-119 ) or antibiotic markers (NeoR or PuroR) and the exact insertion site can be determined by inverse PCR.

This kit consists of cloning vectors that are compatible with three-fragment Gateway cloning and with standard restriction cloning into multiple-cloning sites. The kit includes co-injection markers (Mos1 transposase helper plasmid, negative selection marker peel-1 and mCherry fluorescent markers), cloning vectors, a recombineering cassette and a set of positive control vectors.
