More developments in making gene drives using CRISPR.
In order to combat Drosophila suzukii fruit destroying flies, NC State researchers have created a "homing" gene drive targeting the fly doublesex gene that, if inhibited, will result in sterility of the next generation.
Since the gene is so conserved, it could also be used as a target with other harmful insects.

"Short-term exposure can have adverse physiological effects in the peripheral #nervousSystem, the #immuneSystem and the #cardiovascularSystem. The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., #melanoma), the eyes (e.g., #ocularMelanoma) and the testes (e.g., #sterility)."
