A male-determining factor in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Open accessAbstract
Manipulating M factor alters mosquito sex: Female mosquitoes feed on blood and in so doing transmit pathogens to millions annually. Although the molecular mechanism for determining sex in many animals is known, the specific factors in mosquitoes have been elusive. This is because sex determination in insects involves a section of the genome that is highly repetitive. Hall et al. now identify a male-determining factor (M factor) in Aedes aegypti. Manipulation of the M factor produced sex-change phenotypes. Knocking out the gene Nix resulted in feminized males, and ectopic expression gave masculinized females. These findings should help to advance strategies for converting female mosquitoes into nonbiting males. Science , this issue p. 1268

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
