Genetically engineered underdominance for manipulation of pest populations: a deterministic model.
Genetics - 1 Apr 2006
Magori Krisztian, Gould Fred
Abstract excerpt
We theoretically investigate the potential for introgressing a desired engineered gene into a pest population by linking the desired gene to DNA constructs that exhibit underdominance properties. Our deterministic model includes two independently segregating engineered constructs that both carry a lethal gene, but suppress each other. Only genotypes containing both or neither construct are viable. Both constructs...
