Heritable CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti.

In vivo targeted gene disruption is a powerful tool to study gene function. Thus far, two tools for genome editing in Aedes aegypti have been applied, zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN). As a promising alternative to ZFN and TALEN, which are diffi...
