Overcoming evolved resistance to population-suppressing homing-based gene drives
2016-11-17
Abstract excerpt
The use of homing-based gene drive systems to modify or suppress wild populations of a given species has been proposed as a solution to a number of significant ecological and public health related problems, including the control of mosquito-borne diseases. The recent development of a CRISPR-Cas9-based homing system for the suppression of Anopheles gambiae , the main African malaria vector, is encouraging for this...
