AI Article Synopsis
- CRISPR-based gene drives (GDs) can help distribute beneficial genes in wild populations effectively.
- The text discusses two types of sex-ratio distorting GDs that could be useful for managing pest populations.
- The development of this technology in vertebrates emphasizes the need for awareness around its potential applications in pest control.
Article Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based gene drives (GDs) could be used to spread desirable genetic elements through wild populations. With the imminent development of this technology in vertebrates, we believe that it is timely to highlight two forms of sex-ratio distorting GDs that show potential as pest management tools.
