Cloning and characterization of cDNAs encoding putative CTCFs in the mosquitoes, Aedes aegyptiand Anopheles gambiae (2005)

Gray, Christine E, Coates, Craig J

Abstract Background One of the many ascribed functions of CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) in vertebrates is insulation of genes via enhancer-blocking. Insulation allows genes to be shielded from...

High-level gene expression in Aedes albopictuscells using a baculovirus Hr3 enhancer and IE1 transactivator (2004)

Gray, Christine E, Coates, Craig J

Abstract Background Aedes aegypti is the key vector of both the Yellow Fever and Dengue Fever viruses throughout many parts of the world. Low and variable transgene expression levels due to position...

High efficiency, site-specific excision of a marker gene by the phage P1 cre-loxP system in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (2003)

Jasinskiene, Nijole, Coates, Craig J., Ashikyan, Aurora, James, Anthony A.

The excision of specific DNA sequences from integrated transgenes in insects permits the dissection in situ of structural elements that may be important in controlling gene expression. Furthermore,...

The hermit transposable element of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, belongs to the hAT family of transposable elements (1996)

Coates, Craig J., Johnson, Karyn N., Perkins, Harvey D., Howells, Antony J., O'Brochta, David A., Atkinson, Peter W.

We report the cloning of ermit, a member of the hAT family of transposable elements from the genome of the Australian sheep blowfly,Lucilia cuprina. Hermit is 2716 bp long and is 49% homologous to...

Stable transformation of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, with the Hermes element from the housefly

Jasinskiene, Nijole, Coates, Craig J., Benedict, Mark Q., Cornel, Anthony J., Rafferty, Cristina Salazar, James, Anthony A., ...

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the world’s most important vector of yellow fever and dengue viruses. Work is currently in progress to control the transmission of these viruses by genetically...

Mariner transposition and transformation of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

Coates, Craig J., Jasinskiene, Nijole, Miyashiro, Linda, James, Anthony A.

The mariner transposable element is capable of interplasmid transposition in the embryonic soma of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. To determine if this demonstrated mobility could be...

Inhibition of luciferase expression in transgenic Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by Sindbis virus expression of antisense luciferase RNA

Johnson, Barbara W., Olson, Ken E., Allen-Miura, Tanya, Rayms-Keller, Alfredo, Carlson, Jonathan O., Coates, Craig J., ...

A rapid and reproducible method of inhibiting the expression of specific genes in mosquitoes should further our understanding of gene function and may lead to the identification of mosquito genes...

piggyBac is a flexible and highly active transposon as compared to Sleeping Beauty, Tol2, and Mos1 in mammalian cells

Wu, Sareina Chiung-Yuan, Meir, Yaa-Jyuhn James, Coates, Craig J., Handler, Alfred M., Pelczar, Pawel, Moisyadi, Stefan, ...

A nonviral vector for highly efficient site-specific integration would be desirable for many applications in transgenesis, including gene therapy. In this study we directly compared the genomic...
