Abstract:
Mosquitoes are fascinating and diverse study organisms that are rapidly becoming genetically tractable. Here, we review the latest and most commonly used approaches to silence or edit genes and express transgenes in mosquitoes. We also focus on gene drives-a genetic technology that may prove essential for combating mosquito-borne diseases.
