Disclosed are compositions comprising a first nucleic acid sequence comprising: (a) a first inverted terminal repeat (ITR), (b) a second ITR and (c) an intra-ITR sequence, wherein the intra-ITR sequence comprises a transposon sequence, and a second nucleic acid sequence comprising an inter-ITR sequence, wherein the length of the inter-ITR sequence is between 1 and 600 nucleotides, inclusive of the endpoints. Preferably, the compositions are nanotransposons. |
