gene drive

Researchers have developed two methods to avoid the unchecked spread of engineered genes through wild populations.

A powerful new CRISPR/Cas9 tool can be used to produce homozygous mutations within a generation, but scientists call for caution.

Should researchers genetically modify wild populations of mosquitoes to curb vector-borne diseases like malaria?

A variety of genetic strategies to counter insect-borne diseases are close to maturity.
