Counting cytoplasmic incompatibility factor mRNA using digital droplet PCR

2025-07-30

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia bacteria inhabit over half of all insect species and often spread through host populations via efficient maternal transmission and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), killing aposymbiotic embryos when fertilized by symbiotic males. Wolbachia 's cifB gene triggers CI in males, while cifA , expressed in females, rescues embryos from CI-induced lethality. In some systems, cifA also contributes to CI induc...
