Summary Introduction
To determine: The genetic controls that be put in place before releasing gene drive systems into wild populations.
Introduction: A gene drive is a part of genetic engineering that is used for inserting a particular set of genes in a part of the population or complete population. This can be done by altering the probability of transferring a particular gene to the offspring by using techniques such as addition, deletion, or modification of the genes.
