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...
