Novel P element derived vectors and methods for their use to insert an exogenous nucleic acid into the genome of a target cell are provided. The subject vectors have a pair of P element transposase recognized insertion sites, e.g. 31 base pair inverted repeats, flanking at least two transcriptionally active genes. In practicing the subject methods, a vector of the subject invention is introduced into the target cell under conditions sufficient for transposition to occur. The subject methods find use in a variety of applications in which the insertion of an exogenous nucleic acid into the genome of a target cell is desired, e.g. include research, synthesis and therapeutic applications.
