<i>piggyBac</i> transposon remobilization and enhancer detection in <i>Anopheles</i> mosquitoes
19 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Technical advances in mosquito biology are enabling the development of new approaches to vector control. Absent are powerful forward-genetics technologies, such as enhancer and gene traps, that permit determination of gene functions from the phenotypes arising from transposon insertion mutations. We show that the piggyBac transposon is highly active in the germline of the human malaria vector Anopheles stephensi....
