Optimized CRISPR tools and site-directed transgenesis towards gene drive development in Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes
Culex mosquitoes are a global vector for insect-borne diseases, though progress with genetic tools lags behind other mosquito species. Here the authors present a Cas9-based toolkit and methods that could support future gene drive development in these mosquitoes.
