Y-linked editors for invasive rodent control

Abstract. Invasive rodents are major contributors to biodiversity loss, particularly on islands where native species have evolved in their absence. Genetic

Gene drive mosquitoes could transform malaria control, but tracking them usually requires lab equipment. We propose a low-cost Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) to detect & track gene drives directly in the field. Read the paper: rdcu.be/fv59Q #GlobalHealth #Malaria #CRISPR #GeneDrive

In a new paper, IGI researchers at UC Berkeley & UC San Diego develop a novel approach to controlling invasive rodent populations: Y-linked genome editors, combining scalability with a level of control that has previously been difficult to achieve: https://ow.ly/8mMx50Zs8of 🧪
