The present invention provides methods for identifying pesticide targets and pesticidal agents using transposable elements in insects and insect cells lines. The invention provides engineered transposable elements for use in identification of pesticide targets. The invention further provides a biological array, a collection of transgenic insect lines or insect cell lines, the genome of each containing at least one transposable element that mutates one of the insect's genes, such that the complete collection contains a mutation in essentially every gene in the insect's genome.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 10, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 10, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 10, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
