Leveraging enhancements in CRISPR-based mostly genetic engineering, scientists at the University of California San Diego have created a new technique that restrains populations of mosquitoes that infect hundreds of thousands each and every yr with debilitating diseases. The new precision-guided sterile insect strategy, or pgSIT, alters genes linked to male […]
