Medea selfish genetic elements as tools for altering traits of wild populations: a theoretical analysis.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

One strategy for controlling transmission of insect-borne disease involves replacing the native insect population with transgenic animals unable to transmit disease. Population replacement requires a drive mechanism to ensure the rapid spread of linked transgenes, the presence of which may result in a fitness cost to carriers. Medea selfish genetic elements have the feature that when present in a female, only...
