Our Toxic Male Technique (TMT) paper is finally out! TMT males produce insecticidal semen to eliminate the female population. It's the first example of intragenerational genetic biocontrol. Use in mosquitoes could dramatically reduce bloodmeals.

Insects are great sources of protein for animal feed, but can we make them even better? Yes! Check out our preprint demonstrating the production of a functional phytase enzyme in Drosophila as a proof of principle.

Check out our Allele Sail paper - a simple method to use genome editors for modification of wild populations. Applications include genetic rescue of threatened species, reducing the ability of vectors to spread disease, and making cane toads less toxic.
