Designing gene drives to limit spillover to non-target populations

چکیده
The prospect of utilizing CRISPR-based gene-drive technology for controlling populations has generated much excitement. However, the potential spillovers alleles from target population to non-target raised concerns. Here, using mathematical models, we investigate possibility limiting by designing differential-targeting gene drives, in which expected equilibrium allele frequencies are high but low population. We find that achieving differential targeting is possible with certain configurations parameters, but, most cases, only under relatively migration rates between populations. Under migration, a narrow region parameter space. Because fixation drive could severely disrupt ecosystems, outline ways avoid this outcome. apply our model two applications drives—field trials malaria-vector drives and control invasive species on islands. discuss theoretical predictions key requirements their practical implications.

AbstractGene therapy is a therapeutic approach to deliver genetic material into cells to alter their function in entire organism. One promising form of gene delivery system (DDS) is liposomes. The success of liposome-mediated gene delivery is a multifactorial issue and well-designed liposomal systems might lead to optimized gene transfection particularly in vivo. Liposomal gene delivery systems...

متن کاملLandscape connectivity promotes plant biodiversity spillover into non-target habitats.
Conservation efforts typically focus on maximizing biodiversity in protected areas. The space available for reserves is limited, however, and conservation efforts must increasingly consider how management of protected areas can promote biodiversity beyond reserve borders. Habitat corridors are considered an important feature of reserves because they facilitate movement of organisms between patc...
