ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides vectors for the efficient and position-specific integration of expressible, exogenous nucleotide sequences into cellular genomes. This invention takes advantage of the discovery of a position-specific endonuclease and position-specific insertion markers for the design of said vectors. In addition, a gene comprising a recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide possessing the biological activity of a position-specific endonuclease, wherein the biological activity of said endonuclease is the catalysis of position-specific insertion of genetic material carried between the position-specific integration markers, is disclosed.
