an expression cassette comprising a DNA of interest included between a promoter and a terminator

an identifiable segment of DNA within or attached to another DNA molecule that is not found in association with the other molecule in nature

a plasmid selected from the group consisting of pGallaway, pBERT I and pBERT II or a functionally equivalent plasmid

An artificially assembled DNA segment to be transferred into the target tissue. Typically, the construct will include the gene of particular interest, a marker gene, and appropriate control sequences.

gene sequence made in vitro containing the genes which on insertion will express the desired characteristic

An engineered DNA fragment ( e.g. plasmid) which contains, but is not limited to, the DNA sequences to be integrated into a target organism's genome as a transgene.
