Gene drive designs for efficient and localisable population suppression using Y-linked editors

Author summary Some pest populations can be successfully controlled by the inundative release of sterile males, but this approach is not practicable when the target population is large or the species difficult to rear. Computer modelling has previously demonstrated that releasing males with a genomic editor on their Y chromosome that kills or sterilises female descendants could be much more…
