Abstract excerpt
CRISPR homing gene drives have considerable potential for managing populations of medically and agriculturally significant insects. They operate by Cas9 cleavage followed by homology-directed repair, copying the drive allele to the wild-type chromosome and thus increasing in frequency and spreading throughout a population. However, resistance alleles formed by end-joining repair pose a significant obstacle. To...
