Engineered reciprocal chromosome translocations drive high threshold, reversible population replacement in Drosophila
2016-11-17
Abstract excerpt
Replacement of wild insect populations with transgene-bearing individuals unable to transmit disease or survive under specific environmental conditions provides self-perpetuating methods of disease prevention and population suppression, respectively. Gene drive mechanisms that require the gene drive element and linked cargo exceed a high threshold frequency to spread are attractive because they offer several point...
