Description: The P element used as a vector contains the gene of interest and 1 also the rosy+ gene conferring wild-type eye color but lacks a functional transposase. A second plasmid supplies the transposase l activity in trans. l Vector plasmid Second plasmid Gene of interest P element 3’ transcriptional transposase \ terminator P element I inverted repeat end sequences Co-inject plasmids Amp“ and ori are for into rosy embryos propagation of plasmids in bacteria.
