The development of gene drives for genetic control of the malaria mosquito

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Genetic drive systems have the potential to modify entire insect populations in a few years through the super-Mendelian inheritance of a genetic trait. We describe a novel gene drive system called CRISPRh, which acts as a selfish genetic element in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. CRISPRh is a synthetic allele containing CRISPR/Cas9 endonuclease designed to specifically target and insert a copy of itself in...
