Depositor Comments

The construct is based on the synthetic L1 ORFeus-Hs sequence generated in the lab of Jef Boeke (see W. An et al., Mobile DNA 2, 2011 https://doi.org/10.1186/1759-8753-2-2)

For integration with Sleeping Beauty such as SB100x (Izsvak lab, Addgene #34879). This vector is similar to pYX056 from An lab, see also:
