Regulating the expression of gene drives is key to increasing their invasive potential and the mitigation of resistance.
Homing-based gene drives use a germline source of nuclease to copy themselves at specific target sites in a genome and bias their inheritance. Such gene drives can be designed to spread and deliberately suppress populations of malaria mosquitoes by impairing female fertility. However, strong uninten...
