New CRISPR-based technology developed to control pests with precision-guided genetics. The CRISPR-based method sterilizes male insects for population suppression of agricultural pests and disease-carrying mosquitoes, in a pesticide-free and relatively low-cost way, as reported today in Nature Comm.
