About

    Gene drive is a technology that enables the manipulation of genetic traits within a population by promoting the inheritance of specific genes. This can result in the rapid spread of desirable traits or the suppression of harmful traits within a population. Gene drive has the potential to revolutionize fields such as biotechnology, medicine, and conservation by allowing researchers to modify or control populations of organisms. However, there are also ethical and environmental concerns surrounding the use of gene drive technology, as it has the potential to have far-reaching and unpredictable consequences on ecosystems and biological diversity.
