Closing the gap to effective gene drive in Aedes aegypti by exploiting germline regulatory elements
Nature Communications, 2023 CRISPR/Cas9-based homing gene drives have emerged as a potential new approach to mosquito control. Here the authors use transgenic lines with germline-specific regulatory elements to express Cas9 and achieve up to 94% inheritance bias, closing the gap ...

AePUb promoter length modulates gene expression in Aedes aegypti
Scientific Reports, 2023 Molecular tools for modulating transgene expression in Aedes aegypti are few. Here we demonstrate that adjustments to the AePUb promoter length can alter expression levels of two reporter proteins in Ae. aegypti cell culture and in mosquitoes.
