DIPA-CRISPR is a simple and accessible method for insect gene editing

Current approaches for insect gene editing require microinjection of materials into early embryos. This severely limits the application of gene editing to a great number of insect species, especially to those whose reproduction systems preclude access to early embryos for injection. To overcome thes...

This severely limits the application of gene editing to a great number of insect species, especially to those whose reproduction systems preclude access to early embryos for injection. To overcome these limitations, we report a simple and accessible method for insect gene editing, termed “direct parental” CRISPR (DIPA-CRISPR). We show that injection of Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) into the haemocoel of adult females efficiently introduces heritable mutations in developing oocytes.
