Closing the gap to effective gene drive in Aedes aegypti by exploiting germline regulatory elements
CRISPR/Cas9-based homing gene drives have emerged as a potential new approach to mosquito control. Here the authors use transgenic lines with germline-specific regulatory elements to express Cas9 and achieve up to 94% inheritance bias, closing the gap between A. aegyptidrives and the highly efficien...
