Gene Drive Basics-Ethics and Risks

	Consultation on a draft National Gene Drive Policy Guide Commonwealth of Australia (Department of Health and Aged Care),  National Gene Technology Scheme,  2024. The term gene drive is used to describe organisms which have been genetically modified to increase the rate for a particular trait to spread through a sexually reproducing population, spreading the genes or traits through a species at a faster rate than normal inheritance. ...
	Rescue by gene swamping as a gene drive deployment strategy Keith D. Harris, Gili Greenbaum,  Cell Reports,  42. 2023. Gene drives are genetic constructs that can spread deleterious alleles with potential application to population suppression of harmful species. As gene drives can potentially spill over to other populations or species, control measures and fail-safe strategies must be considered. ...
	Framing Challenges and Opportunities for Canada: Expert Panel on Regulating Gene-Edited Organisms for Pest Control CCA (Council of Canadian Academies),  Framing Challenges and Opportunities for Canada,  2023. Gene-editing technologies are changing approaches to pest management. Rapidly evolving but unproven gene-editing tools could potentially mitigate the impacts of pests in public health, conservation, and agricultural contexts. The use of these tools, however, is accompanied by ...
	Gene Drives: A report on their science, applications, social aspects, ethics and regulations H. Dressel,  Critical Scientists Switzerland; European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility; Vereinigung Deutscher Wissenschaftler,  2019. Engineered Gene Drives are a new form of genetic modification that provides the tools for permanently modifying or potentially even eradicating species or populations in the wild. Unlike the previous genetically modified organisms (GMOs), gene drive organisms (GDOs) are not meant ...
	Gene driving the farm: who decides, who owns, and who benefits? Montenegro de Wit, M,  Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems,  43:1054-1074. 2019. This commentary essay explores the social and ecological implications of gene-driving agriculture.
