ABSTRACT
Transgenes are widely used throughout molecular biology for numerous applications. In Caenorhabditis elegans, stable transgenes are usually generated by microinjection into the germline establishing extrachromosomal arrays. Furthermore, numerous technologies exist to integrate transgenes into the C. elegans genome. In the nematode Pristionchus pacificus, transgenes are possible, however, their establishment is less efficient and dependent on the formation of complex arrays containing the transgene of interest and host carrier DNA. Additionally, genomic integration has only been reported via biolistic methods. Here we describe a simple technique using UV irradiation to facilitate the integration of transgenes into the P. pacificus genome.
