The paper investigates the inheritance of a male-transmitted B chromosome in jewel wasps, finding reduced female transmission due to meiotic drag and a single-copy restriction.

The paper develops a method to deliver CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein into Nasonia vitripennis ovaries for germline gene editing using ReMOT or BAPC, achieving efficient somatic and germline editing.

This paper develops a CRISPR/Cas9 protocol to generate heritable germline mutations in the jewel wasp Nasonia vitripennis, enabling genetic studies of various biological processes.
