Ae. aegypti strain | Injected component* | Injected embryos | Adult G0 survivors (%) | HDR event | |
No. group founders/total group (%) | No. HDR G1/total G1 (%) | ||||
Liverpool (wild-type) | W1-sgRNA/Cas9/white-donor | 600 | 251(41.83) | 1/20 (5) | 9/5,371 (0.15) |
Liverpool (wild-type) | Kh-sgRNA/Cas9/kh-donor | 600 | 273 (45.50) | 1/20 (5) | 7/4,773 (0.14) |
AAEL010097-Cas9 | W1-sgRNA/white-donor | 600 | 308 (51.33) | 4/20 (20) | 118/4,993 (2.36) |
