The frequency of gene targeting in Trypanosoma brucei is independent of target site copy number.
We have investigated the effect of target copy number on the efficiency of stable transformation of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Using a single strain of the organism, we targeted integrative vectors to several different genomic sequences, occurring at copy numbers ranging from 1 to ap...
