2019 journal article

Controlling invasive rodents via synthetic gene drive and the role of polyandry

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 286(1909), 20190852.

By: A. Manser *, S. Cornell *, A. Sutter *, D. Blondel n, M. Serr n, J. Godwin n , T. Price *

author keywords: gene drive; polyandry; invasive species; pest control; house mouse
MeSH headings : Animals; Ecosystem; Female; Gene Drive Technology; Genes, Synthetic; Introduced Species; Islands; Male; Mice / physiology; Pest Control / methods; Rodentia / physiology; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Spermatozoa
TL;DR: It is found that polyandry substantially hampers the spread of t-Sry such that release efforts have to be increased three- to sixfold for successful eradication. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

Developing gene drive technologies to eradicate invasive rodents from islands

Journal of Responsible Innovation, 5(sup1), S121–S138.

By: C. Leitschuh n, D. Kanavy  n, G. Backus  n, R. Valdez n, M. Serr n, E. Pitts*, D. Threadgill *, J. Godwin n 

author keywords: Invasive rodents; eradication; biodiversity; gene drive; CRISPR
TL;DR: The only effective technology for eradicating rodents from islands is toxicants, and though effective, they are expensive and time-consuming to implement. (via Semantic Scholar)

Sry Gene Drive for Rodent Control: Reply to Gemmell and Tompkins

Kanavy, D., & Serr, M. (2017, May).

By: D. Kanavy * & M. Serr n

MeSH headings : Gene Drive Technology; Humans; Rodent Control
TL;DR: The method being considered in the Piaggio et al. article is to utilize a naturally occurring t-allele transgene (Tg) to sex-bias a mouse population, causing it to crash. (via Semantic Scholar)
