Zusammenfassung:Methods of integrating exogenous DNA into the genome of a eucaryotic organism comprising at least one recombination site are effected by contacting the genome with a DNA molecule comprising selected DNA and at least one site-specific recombination site which is compatible with a site-specific recombination site in the genome. DNA insertion is catalyzed by the presence of a recombinase effective for the compatible recombination sites. Selected DNA can be integrated into a genome without removal of DNA from said organism. The methods are useful for site-specific insertion of selected DNA into plants to provide fertile transgenic plants and progeny seed.
