Transforming Insect Population Control with Precision Guided Sterile Males
2018-07-26
Abstract excerpt
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally safe and proven technology to suppress wild populations. To further advance its utility, a novel CRISPR-based technology termed “precision guided SIT” (pgSIT) is described. PgSIT mechanistically relies on a dominant genetic technology that enables simultaneous sexing and sterilization, facilitating the release of eggs into the environment ensuring only steri...
