Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears from the insect population. Insecticides have been used for centuries to counteract widespread pest damage to valuable food crops. Eventually, over time
