Assessing target genes for homing suppression gene drive

Xuejiao Xu, Jialing Fang, Jingheng Chen, Jie Yang, Xiaozhen Yang, Shibo Hou, Weitang Sun, Jackson Champer

This study evaluates CRISPR-based homing gene drives targeting female fertility genes in Drosophila to suppress population growth, finding varying efficiency and fitness costs across targets.

Population dynamics in spatial suppression gene drive models and the effect of resistance, density dependence, and life history

Xinyue Zhang, Weitang Sun, Isabel K. Kim, Philipp W. Messer, Jackson Champer

This study analyzes spatial suppression gene drive dynamics, finding that larger areas and certain life history traits increase vulnerability to chasing, while resistance mechanisms affect drive performance.
