Germline Transformation of Drosophila virilis Mediated by the Transposable Element hobo

A laboratory strain of Drosophila virilis was genetically transformed with a hobo vector carrying the miniwhite cassette using a helper plasmid with an hsp70-driven hobo transposase-coding sequence. The rate of transformation was 0.5% per fertile G0 animal. Three transgenic insertions were cloned and characterized and found to be authentic hobo insertions. These results, together with the known wide-spread distribution of hobo in diverse insect species, suggest that hobo and related transposable elements may be of considerable utility in the germline transformation of insects other than D. melanogaster.
