Conditional expression of Cas9 and dCas9 in Lucilia cuprina reveals dCas9-associated lethality

Alexis L. Kriete, Tatiana Basika, Rossina Novas…·Maxwell J. Scott

This study develops and tests CRISPR-based sex transformation systems in Lucilia cuprina, finding that dCas9 causes lethality while Cas9 is well-tolerated.

Neuropeptide F regulates adult female response to diet, larval locomotion and several larval physiological processes in Lucilia cuprina cuprina

Juan Pedro Wulff, Esther J. Belikoff, Vanesa A.S. Cunha…·Maxwell J. Scott

This study investigates the role of the LcNPF gene in Lucilia cuprina cuprina, showing its impact on larval physiology and female oviposition preference, but not on male mating behavior or fertility.
