The jumping gene cluster codes for a toxic compound called sterigmatocystin.

Based on these results, they developed an artificial jumping gene.

The scientists enlisted a jumping gene to act as an informant, revealing where genetic regulation was occurring.

This case is among the first to show that a jumping gene can cause alterations in gene expression that impact evolution.

Through selective breeding, Spitz and colleagues were then able to generate lines of mice with the jumping gene in many different places.

In each of these lines, the jumping gene gave them information about the regulatory activity happening in the area of the genome where it was sitting.

This jumping gene inserted itself randomly into a cell, yielding a collection of randomly mutated bacteria, each of which produces its own mutant colony.

Finally in 1994, Miller, then a beginning postdoctoral fellow in Kirk's laboratory, isolated the jumping gene and named it based on its obvious attributes.

They engineered that jumping gene to react to the presence of regulatory elements, and devised a method to control when it jumps to a different location in a mouse's genome.
