Gene drive that results in addiction to a temperature sensitive version of an essential gene triggers population collapse in Drosophila

2021-07-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> One strategy for population suppression seeks to use gene drive to spread genes that confer conditional lethality or sterility, providing a way of combining population modification with suppression. Stimuli of potential interest could be introduced by humans, such as an otherwise benign virus or chemical, or occur naturally on a seasonal basis, such as a change in temperature. Cleave and Rescue...
