Gene drives on the horizon : advancing science, navigating uncertainty, and aligning research with public values

Gene drives on the horizon advancing science, navigating uncertainty, and aligning research with public values

"Research on gene drive systems is rapidly advancing. Many proposed applications of gene drive research aim to solve environmental and public health challenges, including the reduction of poverty and the burden of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue, which disproportionately impac...
