Expanding the CRISPR toolbox in Culicine mosquitoes: in vitro validation of Pol III promoters [PDF]
CRISPR–Cas9-based “gene drive” technologies have been proposed as a novel and effective means of controlling human diseases vectored by mosquitoes. However, more complex designs than those demonstrated to date—and an expanded molecular toolbox with which
