Abstract excerpt
The introgression of genetic traits through gene drive may serve as a powerful and widely applicable method of biological control. However, for many applications, a self-perpetuating gene drive that can spread beyond the specific target population may be undesirable and preclude use. Daisy-chain gene drives have been proposed as a means of tuning the invasiveness of a gene drive, allowing it to spread efficiently...
