    We describe here protocols for isolating genes in maize using
    Dissociation (Ds
    ) transposons marked with a green fluorescent protein (
    GFP
    ) transgene. The introduced marker enables the phenotypic scoring of the nonautonomous element and the anchoring of unique primers on the element to facilitate the isolation of the adjacent
    DNA
    by
    PCR
    . Transposons such as
    Ds
    transpose preferentially to sites closely linked to the
    Ds
    -launching platform. Based on this transposition behavior, a genetic resource is being created to mobilize a modified
    Ds
    element from different starting sites in the genome. Enough transgenic lines are being generated to cover most of the maize genome, allowing the targeted tagging of most genes from a
    Ds-launching
    platform located nearby.
