PASADENA, California, Sept. 3 -- The California Institute of Technology issued the following news:
A new technique, developed in a collaboration between Caltech and Macquarie University, could allow scientists to more simply and controllably alter the genetic makeup of wild populations than with the current proposed use of gene drives.
Gene drives are a common technology used to insert a novel gene into a population--for example, to make mosquitos resistant to malaria. . . .
