Genetically-enhanced biocontrols can help fight large invasive mammals, study finds: But gene drives are not a one-size-fits-all solution - Science Daily

Genome engineering using CRISPR offers novel solutions for controlling invasive alien species, but its efficiency for eradicating harmful vertebrates is yet to be tested. In a new study, researchers confirm that genetic biocontrols could rapidly eradicate ani…

Invasive alien mammals can have catastrophic impacts on native flora and fauna, causing species extinctions and driving profound environmental change. Classical control methods such as poison baiting… [+2890 chars]
