ME(rhFIX):Tn5: rhFIX Tn5 transposome. pT2/rhFIX-pCMV-SB100X: rhFIX transposon/ Sleeping Beauty transposase plasmids. Rep.: repetition. Tg: transgenic. The rate of fetuses, born sheep and transgenic born sheep were calculated over number of transferred zygotes (tz), and over number of recipient ewes [r]. The rate of transgenic born sheep was also calculated over the total number of born animals{b}.

*the transgene was only detected in liver and placenta.
