"Homing gene drive system" could help suppress agricultural pests

Researchers have developed a "homing gene drive system" based on CRISPR/Cas9 that could be used to suppress populations of Drosophila suzukii vinegar flies – so-called "spotted-wing Drosophila" that devastate soft-skinned fruit in North America, Europe and parts of South America – according to new research from North Carolina State University.
