What is it about?
A gene drive system based on Cas9 endonuclease and guide RNA (gRNA) biology was developed for population modification of the African malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. It serves as the basis for technologies to introduce rapidly and effectively parasite-resistance genes into this species to prevent parasite transmission.
