- Researchers successfully tested the natural spread of a CRISPR-based edited "gene-drive" gene through a captive population of mosquitoes. The gene, designed for 100% transmission to offspring, fully suppressed the population within a year. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-24790-6 161 comments science
