The transgene toggling device is recognized as a powerful tool for gene- and cell-based biological research and precision medicine. However, many of these devices often operate in binary mode, exhibit unacceptable leakiness, suffer from transgene silencing, show cytotoxicity, and have low potency. Here, we present a novel transgene switch, SIQ, wherein all the elements for gene toggling are packed into a single vector. SIQ has superior potency in inducing transgene expression in response to tebufenozide compared with the Gal4/UAS system, while completely avoiding transgene leakiness...
