Variants in Cas9 and <i>nanos</i> regulatory elements modulate activity and reduce resistance allele formation in homing gene drive
2025-11-05
Abstract excerpt
Gene drive is a novel approach for controlling vector borne disease via either population modification or suppression. Even with high efficiency, though, overall drive performance can be reduced by somatic Cas9 expression and by maternal deposition of Cas9, leading to resistance allele formation. The nanos promoter for Cas9 shows very little leaky somatic expression, but it causes high rates of embryo resistance...
