Viral gene drive spread during herpes simplex virus 1 infection in mice

Abstract excerpt

Gene drives are genetic modifications designed to propagate efficiently through a population. Most applications rely on homologous recombination during sexual reproduction in diploid organisms such as insects, but we recently developed a gene drive in herpesviruses that relies on co-infection of cells by wild-type and engineered viruses. Here, we report on a viral gene drive against human herpes simplex virus 1...
