Abstract excerpt
Yeast retrotransposon Ty1 directs the synthesis of virus-like particles (VLPs) consisting of Ty1-encoded proteins, RNA, and reverse transcripts. Ty1 reverse transcripts, tagged with a selectable marker and found within VLPs, are capable of transposing into naked target DNA in vitro. Cassettes consisting of a Ty long terminal repeat (LTR), or delta, marked with supF, and flanked by appropriate restriction sites...
