Life finds a way, and more so when populations are huge and genomes are diverse. Not exactly a surprising result.
Maybe with another ten or twenty years of experience and technique in genome sequencing and interpretation we will be able to engineer a reliable gene drive.
- shiyoon 7y agothe risk in making a mistake doing these trial runs could be huge though......they still don't know the impact this will have on the local ecosystem there across generations....Gene driving is a pandoras box that has the potential to decimate entire ecosystems by accident with irreversible consequences. I keep thinking this is how the zombie apocalypse will happen lol
