Synthetic gene drives as an anthropogenic evolutionary force.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 May 2023

Cutter Asher D

Abstract excerpt

Genetic drive represents a fundamental evolutionary force that can exact profound change to the genetic composition of populations by biasing allele transmission. Herein I propose that the use of synthetic homing gene drives, the human-mediated analog of endogenous genetic drives, warrants the designation of 'genetic welding' as an anthropogenic evolutionary force. Conceptually, this distinction parallels that of...
