Introduction – What is gene drive? Gene drives are genes in sexually reproducing organisms that transmit preferentially (i.e., in a non-Mendelian fashion) to the next generation at the expense of other forms of the same gene. So, transmission frequency of the form that exhibits the phenomenon of “drive” is typically greater than 50% and often […]
