New preprint! ๐ŸฆŸ๐Ÿงฌ We describe draupnir, the only Y-linked gene transcribed during meiosis in Anopheles gambiae and test whether its regulatory sequences can drive expression from the Y chromosome to power a sex-ratio distorter.

A story that started before the lab moved to @EntomologyHUJI. Great to finally have this out. Challenging Y chromosome genomics and genetic engineering led by @roccodamato83, Elad and Alessia.

New preprint! ๐ŸฆŸ๐ŸงฌThe key to engineering daughter-killing in mosquitoes isn't what X-linked gene you target with CRISPR. It's when during sperm development you cut it. X-poisoning in Anopheles at last. shorturl.at/T31TG

Our latest work with @DipteraAI out now on @biorxiv. We built an open, cheap and accessible mosquito membrane feeder ๐ŸฆŸโš™๏ธ. 3D-Feedies have been a game changer in our insectaries. Hope you'll give it a try:

The OpIE2-DsRed marker disrupts blood-feeding in female #Anopheles gambiae #mosquitoes by bending the proboscis. A tweaked OpIE2-b promoter fixes it. Check it out:

Just a small release of these mosquitoes could make entire populations malaria-resistant
