General and Specific Promotion of Flagellar Assembly by a Flagellar Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase [PDF]
Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDKs) play a central role in diverse cellular processes using the canonical NDK activity or alternative mechanisms that remain poorly defined.

Nonmycorrhizal (Myc¯) Mutants of Hebeloma cylindrosporum Obtained Through Insertional Mutagenesis
Polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of protoplasts was used as a method for insertional mutagenesis to obtain mutants of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum impaired in symbiotic ability.

Targeted insertional mutagenesis libraries for deep domain insertion profiling [PDF]
AbstractDomain recombination is a key principle in protein evolution and protein engineering, but inserting a donor domain into every position of a target protein is not easily experimentally accessible. Most contemporary domain insertion profiling approaches rely on DNA transposons, which are constrained by sequence bias.

Retroviral-mediated Insertional Mutagenesis in Zebrafish [PDF]
Since the initial publication of this chapter in 2004, additional methodologies have been developed which could improve and/or complement the original retroviral-mediated insertional mutagenesis. Retroviral vectors have also been shown to be useful for goals other than mutagenesis.

Modeling integration site data for safety assessment with MELISSA
Gene and cell therapies pose safety concerns due to potential insertional mutagenesis by viral vectors. We introduce MELISSA, a regression-based statistical framework for analyzing Integration Site (IS) data to assess insertional mutagenesis risk, by ...

Retroviral insertional mutagenesis identifies oncogene cooperation [PDF]
Retroviral insertional mutagenesis has been applied to identify oncogenes that are important for both human and rodent carcinogenesis. The method reveals not only primary oncogenes but also cooperative genes that might be affected as second or third hits in multistep carcinogenesis.

A novel approach to identify driver genes involved in androgen-independent prostate cancer [PDF]
Background Insertional mutagenesis screens have been used with great success to identify oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Typically, these screens use gammaretroviruses (γRV) or transposons as insertional mutagens.
