Highly efficient Cas9-mediated gene drive for population modification of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi

Highly efficient Cas9-mediated gene drive for population modification of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

In this work, scientists used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to spread antimalarial genes into a target vector population of mosquito. 

They obeserve a higgh efficiency of this tool to genetically modify the mosquito germ line,
