• Concerning RNA-guided gene drives for the alteration of wild populations (2014, background): “In contrast, models suggest that the deleterious and complex effects of genetic load and sexbiasing suppression drives render them more sensitive to population-specific ecological variables such as density-dependent selection (Burt, 2003; Schliekelman et al., 2005; Huang et al., 2007; Deredec et al.”
• Gene Drives on the Horizon: Advancing Science, Navigating Uncertainty, and Aligning Research with Public Values (2016, background): “In his seminal paper, Burt posited three reasons for conducting research on gene drives: “to motivate more rapid development of the technology; to warn of containment issues that ought to be addressed during development; and to stimulate discussions on the desirability of eradicating or genetically ”
