New Gene Drive Technology Reverses Insecticide Resistance in Pests

Geneticists from the University of California San Diego developed gene drive technologies to combat insecticide resistance by replacing resistant genes in insects with genes that restore susceptibility to pesticides. The researchers say that this new genetic system has the potential to protect valuable crops and vastly reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
