PiggyBac Transposon Vector Construction

Cambridge Bioscience offers access to the PiggyBac Transposon Vector Construction Services through a partnership between System Biosciences and Transposagen.

PiggyBac Transposon
The PiggyBac (PB) transposon is a mobile genetic element that efficiently transposes between vectors and chromosomes via a "cut and paste" mechanism. During transposition, the PB transposase recognizes transposon-specific inverted terminal repeat sequences (ITRs) located on both ends of the transposon vector and efficiently moves the contents from the original sites into TTAA chromosomal sites. The powerful activity of the PiggyBac transposon system enables genes of interest between the two ITRs in the PB vector to be easily mobilized into target genomes.
