TL;DR: An improvement in the injection technique at the end of the studies resulted in increased G0 hatching, transient expression and EGFP‐expression rates among G1 progeny, and genetic cross data suggest that the insertion site of the element either resulted in, or is tightly linked to, a recessive lethal.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the lepidopteran piggyBac transposon is a candidate element for germline transformation of anopheline mosquitoes and the first demonstration of the precise mobility of pigGYBac in this malaria vector is demonstrated.

TL;DR: Three distinct types of Tc1‐family transposable elements have been identified in the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, and have the potential to encode transposases that retain most of the conserved amino acids that are characteristic of this transposon family but are diverged from each other by more than 50% at the nucleotide level.
