Knock-in = knock-out: differential fitness effects of cardinal mutations in Anopheles stephensi

The paper investigates fitness differences between knock-in and knock-out cd mutants in Anopheles stephensi, finding that knock-in mutants have reduced survival and midgut dysfunction, while knock-outs do not.

Integrating multiplexing into confineable gene drives effectively overrides resistance in Anopheles stephensi

The paper assesses two multiplexing strategies for CRISPR/Cas9-based gene drives in Anopheles stephensi to overcome target site resistance.

Germline transformation of the West Nile Virus and avian malaria vector Culex quinquefasciatus Say using the piggyBac transposon system

This paper successfully transforms Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes using the piggyBac transposon system, achieving up to 5% transformation efficiency with a fluorescent marker gene.
