This study identifies a fluorescent marker that disrupts female blood-feeding and shortens lifespan in Anopheles gambiae, highlighting the importance of validating transgenic components.

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for five Tephritid species using long-read sequencing, short-read polishing, and Hi-C scaffolding.

The paper develops a genetic tool for Bactrocera zonata by creating a chromosome-level genome and CRISPR/Cas9-induced white-eye mutants to aid in Genetic Sexing Strain development.

This paper develops a CRISPR/Cas13a-based method for rapid, direct, and specific detection of RNA viruses in crop plants, successfully identifying ToBRFV, CGMMV, and TuMV.

This study uses CRISPR-Cas9 to edit two genes in Harmonia axyridis, showing lethality for laccase2 knockout and establishing a viable scarlet mutant colony.

This paper presents a CRISPR-Cas12a assay for rapid, on-site detection of Bactrocera zonata and Ceratitis capitata, demonstrating high specificity and sensitivity for pest monitoring.

This paper develops a CRISPR-Cas12a method to differentially detect Tomato mosaic virus and Tomato brown rugose fruit virus in plant samples.
