Optimising homing endonuclease gene drive performance in a semi-refractory species: the Drosophila melanogaster experience.
Homing endonuclease gene (HEG) drive is a promising insect population control technique that employs meganucleases to impair the fitness of pest populations. Our previous studies showed that HEG drive was more difficult to achieve in Drosophila melanogaster than Anopheles gambiae and we therefore in...
