Abstract excerpt
Population-scale genome modification can alter the composition or fate of wild populations. Synthetic gene drives provide one set of tools, but their use is complicated by scientific, regulatory, and social issues associated with transgene persistence and flow. Here we propose an alternative approach. An Allele Sail consists of a genome editor (the Wind) that introduces DNA sequence edits, and is inherited in a...
