Efficient population modification gene-drive rescue system in the malaria mosquito Anopheles stephensi
Gene drives may be impeded by the generation of resistant alleles following NHEJ. Here the authors develop a recoded gene-drive rescue system for the malaria mosquito, Anopheles stephensi, that targets the drive to the kynurenine hydroxylase gene for negative selection against mutated alleles.
