Chromosome drives via CRISPR-Cas9 in yeast
Self-propagating drives allow for non-Mendelian inheritance. Here the authors use CRISPR to build a chromosome drive, showing elimination of entire chromosomes, endoreduplication of desired chromosomes and enabling preferential transmissions of complex genetic traits on a chromosomal scale in yeast.
