  • SELF-LIMITING, SEX-SPECIFIC GENE AND METHODS OF USING
    Publication number: 20240093230
    Abstract: The invention provides a splice control module for sex-specific splicing and expression of a gene of interest. In certain embodiments, a dsx-based splice control module is used to express a lethal gene in an insect that is spliced in a sex-specific manner to impart lethality to female insects but not male insects.
