In order to engineer advanced forms of defence against malaria transmission, including targeted CRISPR and gene drive\u2013based strategies, scientists require intricate knowledge of the genomes of vector mosquitoes. CRISPR technology is a gene-editing tool which allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is CRISPR technology, recently seen in news?
