This study develops split suppression gene drives in Aedes aegypti, showing that inheritance efficiency and reproductive fitness costs must be balanced for effective population suppression.

This study shows that the doublesex gene is essential for female-specific flight and hearing traits in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by regulating gene expression in thoraces and ears.

This paper applies the SEPARATOR system to Anopheles stephensi to enable male-specific genetic sexing for biocontrol, confirming evolutionary conservation of sex-specific splicing.

This study investigates inheritance bias mechanisms in a CRISPR gene drive in Aedes aegypti, finding two distinct mechanisms: homing in double heterozygous males and meiotic drive.

This paper develops a CRISPR-based sterile insect technique to eliminate Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in controlled environments.

The paper identifies how the mosquito brain detects CO2 and a human sweat odorant through synergistic neural coding.

The paper uses live calcium imaging in Ae. aegypti larvae to study sensorimotor responses and foraging strategies, revealing the role of chemosensory systems.

This study generates Ae. aegypti mosquitoes engineered with synthetic miRNAs to reduce ZIKV infection, dissemination, and transmission.

This study demonstrates efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis in malaria mosquitoes to enable reverse genetic analysis.

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.
