@prateekverma.bsky.social Albari & Marshall evaluate the potential of Y-linked genome editors to suppress or eliminate a mouse population on a small, isolated island - results suggest YLEs as a promising, ecologically manageable biocontrol tool 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag165 #societyjournal

Y-linked editors for invasive rodent controlAbstract. Invasive rodents are major contributors to biodiversity loss, particularly on islands where native species have evolved in their absence. Geneticdoi.org

In a new paper, IGI researchers at UC Berkeley & UC San Diego develop a novel approach to controlling invasive rodent populations: Y-linked genome editors, combining scalability with a level of control that has previously been difficult to achieve: https://ow.ly/8mMx50Zs8of 🧪
