FEASIBLE INTROGRESSION OF AN ANTI-PATHOGEN TRANSGENE INTO AN URBAN MOSQUITO POPULATION WITHOUT USING GENE-DRIVE.

Feasible introgression of an anti-pathogen transgene into an urban mosquito population without using gene-drive.

Introgressing anti-pathogen constructs into wild vector populations could reduce disease transmission.It is generally assumed that such introgression would require linking an anti-pathogen gene with a selfish genetic element or similar technologies.Yet none of the proposed transgenic anti-pathogen gene-drive mechanisms are likely to be implemented

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Niphon spinosus (Perciformes: Niphonidae): Genome Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis

The species Niphon spinosus (Cuvier, 1829) is the only representative of the family Niphonidae and the genus Niphon, and its taxonomic history is complicated; it is still unclear in a phylogenetic sense.In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of N.spinosus (OP391482), which was determined to be 16,503 bp long with biased A + T co
