Abstract excerpt
Gene drive can modify or suppress vector populations by spreading drive alleles. In CRISPR homing drives, regulating Cas9 expression has been effective for improving drive performance, but selecting suitable promoters is often a major challenge. Here, we evaluate 35 Cas9 constructs with distinct promoters in Drosophila melanogaster and identify associations between drive performance and single-cell RNA expression...
