Despite the importance of plants for humans and the threats to their future, plant
conservation receives far less support compared with vertebrate conservation. Plants are …

Scientists are rapidly developing synthetic gene drive elements intended for release into
natural populations. These are intended to control or eradicate disease vectors and pests, or …

Synthetic gene drives, inspired by natural selfish genetic elements and transmitted to
progeny at super-Mendelian (> 50%) frequencies, present transformative potential for …

The primary international forum deliberating the regulation of “synthetic biology” is the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), along with its subsidiary agreements concerned …

Gene drive technology, in which fast‐spreading engineered drive alleles are introduced into
wild populations, represents a promising new tool in the fight against vector‐borne diseases …

CRISPR/Cas has revolutionized genome engineering in plants. However, the use of anti‐
CRISPR proteins as tools to prevent CRISPR/Cas‐mediated gene editing and gene …

Gene drive is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which selfish genetic elements
manipulate gametogenesis and reproduction to increase their own transmission to the next …

Gene drive elements promote the spread of linked traits and can be used to change the
composition or fate of wild populations. Cleave and Rescue (ClvR) drive elements sit at a …

Recent advances in gene‐editing technologies have opened new avenues for genetic pest
control strategies, in particular around the use of gene drives to suppress or modify pest …

Gene drives are programmable genetic elements that can spread beneficial traits into wild
populations to aid in vector-borne pathogen control. Two different drives have been …
