Selfish genetic elements (SGEs) display biased transmission to offspring. However, their
breeding potential has remained obscure. Wang et al. recently reported a natural gene-drive …

Simple Summary Many insects are categorized as agricultural pests due to their ability to
transmit diseases and damage crops, which results in significant economic losses. Scientists …

Genetic control strategies are promising solutions for control of pest populations and
invasive species. Methods utilizing repeated releases of males such as Sterile Insect …

We introduce GeneDrive. jl, the first software package to optimize operational planning for
the biological control of mosquito disease vectors. Mosquitoes are responsible for …

Gene drives have enormous potential for solving biological issues by forcing the spread of
desired alleles through populations. However, to safeguard from the potentially irreversible …

Artificial gene drive is a genetic engineering technology that could be used for the control of
natural populations. Gene drive alleles bias their own transmission and can therefore …
