In a recently published paper in Science Bulletin, Lin and Wang (2015) created RIDL (release of insects carrying a dominant lethal) strains of D. melanogaster using RNAi against the Pygopus (Pygo) gene – a PHD-finger protein playing an essential role […]
RIDL
standard Applying Insect Genetic Technologies to Mosquito Control
The development and use of genetic technologies in a few mosquito species that are major vectors of human pathogens has been on factor in driving or, more appropriately, reviving interest in using genetics-based strategies to control these insects. Transgenic technologies […]
