We recently developed a new technology that uses CRISPR to block viral transmission. There are CRISPR ribonucleases that can degrade RNA instead of DNA, and we engineered these to target viruses. We ...

Cow blood engorges an exposed mosquito’s gut in Anthony James’s lab. Versions of the species carrying Zika and dengue fever can be manipulated with CRISPR so that they give birth to sterile ...

To create a CRISPR gene drive, scientists engineer an organism’s DNA to contain the desired ... And I thought, ‘if you can engineer a mosquito to never carry a disease, I bet you can engineer a ...

The funding will accelerate the development and deployment of Synvect’s CRISPR-based technology, offering a scalable, eco-friendly solution to suppress disease-carrying mosquito populations.
