CRISPR-based homing gene drives achieve super-Mendelian inheritance by converting wild-type alleles into drive alleles through homology-directed repair (HDR). However, competing end-joining repair can generate resistance alleles that limit drive spread. Although fusing Cas9 to DNA repair-associated proteins has improve...

It is found that using more than one gRNA reduced the efficiency of inheritance, especially in females, and this results show that gene drive performance depends strongly on biological context and design choices, and that strategies must be carefully optimized in the target species.

2-locus TARE drives represent promising tools for effective and strongly confined population modification and are constructed with underdominance characteristics, yielding a higher introduction threshold even when drive performance is ideal.
