Medea Selfish Genetic Elements as Tools for Altering Traits of Wild Populations: A Theoretical Analysis
Insect-borne diseases kill millions of people annually. One strategy for controlling transmission of insect-borne disease involves replacing the native insect population with transgenic animals unable to transmit disease. Population replacement requires a drive mechanism to ensure the rapid spread...
