A Multiple Gene Drive System

Yan & Finnigan, (2018) recently published a paper in Scientific Reports describing an artificial multi-locus gene drive system by using a single Cas9 and three guide RNA (gRNA) in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nuclease-based gene drives do not follow the typical Mendel patterns of inheritance and lead quickly to the spread of gene drive elements through a given population.
