Dodging silver bullets: good CRISPR gene-drive design is critical for eradicating exotic vertebrates

Self-replicating gene drives that can spread deleterious alleles through animal populations have been promoted as a much needed but controversial ‘silver bullet’ for controlling invasive alien species. Homing-based drives comprise an endonuclease and a guide RNA (gRNA) that are replicated during mei...
