Population‐level multiplexing: A promising strategy to manage the evolution of resistance against gene drives targeting a neutral locus

Abstract CRISPR‐based gene drives bias inheritance in their favour by inducing double‐stranded breaks (DSBs) at wild‐type homologous loci and using the drive transgene as a repair template—converting drive heterozygotes into homozygotes. Recent studies have shown that alternate end‐joining repair me...
