A novel piggyBac transposon inducible expression system identifies a role for AKT signalling in primordial germ cell migration.

In this work, we describe a single piggyBac transposon system containing both a tet-activator and a doxycycline-inducible expression cassette. We demonstrate that a gene product can be conditionally expressed from the integrated transposon and a second gene can be simultaneously targeted by a short...
