Using CRISPR-based gene drive for agriculture pest control.
S tephen Young describes an alternative or complementary emerging strategy for controlling pests in agriculture: the use of artificial intelligence and robotic machines to physically destroy individual pests [1]. He emphasizes that, while genetics focuses on internal modifications of pests, such technological approaches rely on external manipulation. Robotic technology seems an attractive appro...
متن کاملAgricultural pest control with CRISPR-based gene drive: time for public debate: Should we use gene drive for pest control?
G ene drive based on the CRISPR/Cas-9 gene editing system is a powerful technology that promotes the inheritance of the gene drive tool itself via sexual reproduction and can therefore spread quickly through a population. It holds great potential for public health and humanitarian purposes, such as reducing the burden of vector-borne diseases like malaria. Here, we discuss another potential app...

متن کاملEvolutionary dynamics of CRISPR gene drives
The alteration of wild populations has been discussed as a solution to a number of humanity's most pressing ecological and public health concerns. Enabled by the recent revolution in genome editing, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) gene drives-selfish genetic elements that can spread through populations even if they confer no advantage to their host organism-ar...
متن کاملThe promise and peril of CRISPR gene drives: Genetic variation and inbreeding may impede the propagation of gene drives based on the CRISPR genome editing technology.
Gene drives are selfish genetic elements that use a variety of mechanisms to ensure they are transmitted to subsequent generations at greater than expected frequencies. Synthetic gene drives based on the clustered regularly interspersed palindromic repeats (CRISPR) genome editing system have been proposed as a way to alter the genetic characteristics of natural populations of organisms relevant...
