Kyrou et al. (2018) in a recent paper in Nature Biotechnology report identifying a highly conserved target site in the Anopheles gambiae fertility gene doublesex (dsx), that cannot tolerate mutations. They built a gene drive targeting this site in dsx […]

Transgenic TALEN Expression to Control Sex in Bombyx
Analysis of gene function in insects by editing the genome, or reverse genetics, is now greatly facilitated thanks to powerful genetic technologies, such as TALENs, ZFNs, and more recently CRISPR/Cas9, becoming available in many organisms. However, screening of transgenic mutated […]
