A selectable, plasmid-based system to generate CRISPR/Cas9 gene edited and knock-in mosquito cell lines
Abstract Aedes (Ae.) aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes transmit arthropod-borne diseases around the globe, causing ~ 700,000 deaths each year. Genetic mutants are valuable tools to interrogate both fundamental vector biology and mosquito host factors important for viral infection. However, very...
