Investigating the Use of CRISPR-Based Gene Drives to Control Invasive Species and Protect Fragile Ecosystems from Biodiversity Loss

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: CRISPR-based gene drives offer a groundbreaking approach to controlling invasive species and preserving biodiversity in fragile ecosystems. This study explores the development and application of gene drives to target invasive populations, focusing on ecological impact, safety, and effectiveness. Results demonstrate significant potential for ecological restoration, with rigorous safeguards needed for ethical and environmental considerations.
