ABSTRACT:
A system for in vitro transposition includes a donor DNA that includes a transposable element flanked by a pair of bacterial transposon Tn5 outside end repeat sequences, a target DNA into which the transposable element can transpose, and a modified Tn5 transposase having higher binding avidity to the outside end repeat sequences and being less likely to assume an inactive multimer form than wild type Tn5 transposase.
