injection of an. stephensi embryos to generate malaria-resistant mosquitoes

<p class="jove_content">Införandet av exogena gener i kartläggningen av myggor kräver mikroinjektion tekniker anpassade till specifika arter av intresse. Denna video protokoll visar en metod som James laboratoriet för att microinject DNA-konstruktioner i Anopheles stephensi embryon för generering av förvandlade myggor. Tekniker för att förbereda mikroinjektion nålar, samla in och förbereda embryon och utföra mikroinjektion illustreras.</p>
