Abstract excerpt
Insertion mutagenesis using transposons has become a powerful tool for the isolation of genes involved in any given biochemical or developmental pathway. We describe here ligation-mediated PCR techniques for the isolation of sequences flanking the transposable elements En/Spm, Mu1 and Cin4 in Zea mays and Arabidopsis thaliana. Two versions of this transposon insertion display (TID) method use biotinylated linkers...
