Optimization of the piggyBac transposon using mRNA and insulators: toward a more reliable gene delivery system.

Integrating and expressing stably a transgene into the cellular genome remain major challenges for gene-based therapies and for bioproduction purposes. While transposon vectors mediate efficient transgene integration, expression may be limited by epigenetic silencing, and persistent transposase expr...
