Gene-drive-mediated extinction is thwarted by population structure and evolution of sib mating

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Genetic engineering combined with CRISPR technology has developed to the point that gene drives can, in theory, be engineered to cause extinction in countless species. Success of extinction programs now rests on the possibility of resistance evolution, which is largely unk...
