Stochastic dynamics at the back of a gene drive eradication wave.

Abstract excerpt

Gene drive alleles bias their own inheritance to offspring. They can fix in a wild-type population in spite of a fitness cost, and even lead to the eradication of the target population if the fitness cost is high. However, this outcome may be prevented or delayed if areas previously cleared by the drive are recolonised by wild-type individuals. Here, we investigate the conditions under which these stochastic...
