HOMING. “Because copying causes the fraction of offspring that inherit the cassette to be greater than 1/2, these genes can drive through a population even if they reduce the reproductive fitness of the individual organisms that carry them. Over many generations, this self-sustaining process can theoretically allow a gene drive to spread from a small number of individuals until it is present in all members of a population.”
