This study evaluates how genomic insertion sites affect VSR activity in Drosophila using a transgenic reporter system and shows that gypsy retrovirus insulators can standardize silencing across loci.

This paper demonstrates a gene drive mitigation strategy using Repeat Mediated Excision of a Drive Element (ReMEDE) to replace drive alleles with wild-type alleles in Drosophila melanogaster.
