piggyBac: A Powerful Tool For Insertional Mutagenesis
CRISPR may get all the attention for being able to cut DNA in a directed way, but how do researchers insert or remove genes or what if the gene(s) that produce phenotypes of interest are not known? The piggyBac (PB) system can be used for the introduction of genes into many different organisms. These genes…
