Tracking plans to genetically modify wild species
The publication describes modelling of both 'a Y-chromosome-linked X-chromosome-shredding drive (“driving-Y”), which targets the X-chromosome for deletion during spermatogenesis with slightly imperfect efficiency' and 'a CRISPR homing drive... targeting female fertility'
The abstracts states 'Using a landscape-scale individual-based model, we present the first estimates of times to eradication for long-lived alien mammals.' The modelling exercise included feral cats.
