Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum.

Stephen Richards, +190 more
- 24 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transgenic anopheline mosquitoes impaired in transmission of a malaria parasite

TL;DR: The use of genetic manipulation tools to generate transgenic mosquitoes that express antiparasitic genes in their midgut epithelium are reported, thus rendering them inefficient vectors for the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile vector set for animal transgenesis.

TL;DR: This work presents a versatile vector set for germline transformation based on the promiscuous transposons mariner, Hermes and piggyBac, and introduces a potentially universal marker system comprised of an artificial promoter containing three Pax-6 homodimer binding sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

A universal marker for transgenic insects.

TL;DR: A marker system that is suitable for following gene transfer in most arthropods and in many other phyla is described that will allow easy and reliable identification of transgenic animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly sensitive, fluorescent transformation marker for Drosophila transgenesis.

TL;DR: Data is presented that the eye-specific expression of green fluorescent protein, driven by the 3xP3-EGFP marker, outperforms the commonly used ”mini”-white transformation marker in Drosophila germline transformation experiments and offers an ideal marker for applications in functional genomics.
