[DIYbio] Re: Plant Engineering




Got a new idea: 

What about retrotransposons? I read about them, and they seem to copy their coding sequence multiple times and integrate it into the chromosome. (like Copy and paste).


If the lux genes were within such a retorotransposon, that would give us multiple copies per cell, while just injecting the ~10 - 15 kbp !! 



I'm looking for annotated sequences, yet I haven't found any. But I'll keep going ;)
