| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying insect wing diversity. This was done by utilizing a new approach of introducing the latest gene function analysis technology and next-generation sequencing technology, while using genes that are the key to wing evolution. We targeted its application based on the results of our research. As a result, we have succeeded in the draft genome sequencing, as well as in establishing CRISPR/Cas9-based heritable targeted mutagenesis in the firebrat, Thermobia domestica. In addition, we succeeded in producing a novel winged flightless ladybird beetle based on the RNAi method, which is considered to be more useful in the development of biopesticides.
