		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Here&#8217;s the problem with sterilizing male mosquitoes using radiation: Females don&#8217;t find them sexy anymore. Irradiating insects can be an effective control strategy, but it only works if the males remain buff enough to attract females&#8211;and irradiated male mosquitoes are sickly and unattractive. Oxitec, a four-year-old biotech company in Oxford, England, has come up with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Transposon-free insertions for insect genetic engineering&#8221; has been published on-line in the journal Nature Biotechnology. The paper describes a method developed at Oxitec Ltd. in collaboration with Oxford University, which we believe will become the gold standard for genetic engineering of insects for safe field use.
