Site-specific selfish genes as tools for the control and genetic engineering of natural populationsBurt, A, Proceedings of the Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 270:921-928. 2003.![]() Site-specific selfish genes exploit host functions to copy themselves into a defined target DNA sequence, and include homing endonuclease genes, group II introns and some LINE-like transposable elements. If such genes can be engineered to target new host sequences, then they can ...
