Genome editing of the vermilion locus generates a visible eye color marker for Oncopeltus fasciatus

Abstract Insects display a vast array of eye and body colors. Genes encoding products involved in biosynthesis and deposition of pigments are ideal genetic markers, contributing, for example, to the power of Drosophila genetics. Oncopeltus fasciatus is an emerging model for hemimetabolous insects, a...
