Qian et al (2016) using bioinformatic and transient heterologous expression systems have identified three strong promoters from the genomes of the Hemipterans Nilaparvata lugens and Nephotettix cincticeps. The abundance of genome sequence data is a boon to insect science and […]

Two Bombyx Testis-Specific Promoters
The level of sophistication with which one can genetically manipulate insects is very much determined by how well transgene expression can be regulated. Xu et al (2014) in Insect Molecular Biology describe their successful efforts to isolate promoters from two […]
