Haraguchi et al. investigate how transfected DNA is incorporated into the nucleus using light and electron microscopy, and the LacI/LacO system. The authors report that cytoplasmic localised plasmid DNA is incorporated into the nucleus as it reforms during M-exit and transgene expression was achieved only after nuclear reformation in the next G1.
