Genetic sequence comparison
Detailed Description
Genetic sequence comparison for a target gene. The purpose is to find hypervariable regions of the gene that can be safely targeted by RNA interference without affecting non-target species.

Synthetic Biology Tools for Controlling Invasive Carps
We aim to develop control tools for eliminating invasive carps (silver carp – Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, bighead carp – H. nobilis, grass carp – Ctenopharyngodon idella, and black carp – Mylopharyngodon piceus) that use natural gene regulation mechanisms (RNA-induced gene silencing; RNA interference; RNAi) to be species-specific without non-target effects. Invasive carps cause substantial...
