Mate choice against gene drives leads to evolutionary rescue

|
By Jonathan Henshaw, Adam Jones, Xiaoyan Long, Marilena De Almeida
| BioRxiv
Abstract Artificial gene drives offer a promising approach for controlling populations of agricultural pests, invasive species and disease vectors, such as malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Gene-drive alleles induce a transmission bias, meaning there is a greater than 50% probability that they will be inherited by offspring, facilitating their rapid propagation through populations. When these alleles induce high fitness costs, their spread can lead to the eradication of target populations.
