Gene drive has the potential to do harm as well as good. We need to develop it the right way. We need powerful tools to take on the deadliest creature in the world: mosquitoes. A new technology ...

I helped develop gene drive technology, but oppose its for-profit use. The profit motive would decrease trust in those who might benefit from it.

A new technology known as gene drive can increase the likelihood that desirable engineered traits in a mosquito are passed on to all of its offspring in the next generation, ultimately spreading ...

UCSD gene drive technology offers life-transforming power Benefits include preventing and curing diseases, but potential harms mandate ethical review ...

This “gene drive” technology, in its current form, is only two years old, but some are already calling for its use against the Zika virus.

Population-level changes in the genetic make-up of one of the world's deadliest animals could provide a key in the fight against malaria, proponents of a radical new technology argue.

Gene Drive Technology Eliminates Malaria-Transmitting Mosquito Population Researchers introduced a sterilization mutation that wiped out lab populations in seven to 11 generations ...

What is gene drive?Gene drive is a technology that could allow society to control insects in a more targeted manner.The general underlying principle of all gene drives is an organism that will ...

Researchers have eliminated caged mosquitoes using ‘gene drive’ technology to spread a genetic modification that blocks female reproduction. The team from Imperial College London were able to crash ...

When geneticists create mice with special traits, there is no way to be sure that they will be inherited by the offspring. But a new genetic tool called a gene drive may fix the problem.

Trust is essential if we ever hope to use gene drive to prevent diseases like malaria. For-profit uses will diminish that trust, just as it has with genetically modified foods.
