Abstract

The technical limitations and the use of gene drives to address ecological problems by modifying all populations of wild species remain primarily speculative. Here, we examine the possibility that RNA-guided gene drives based on the CRISPR nuclease Cas9 could be used as an all-encompassing approach for introducing changed features into natural populations over a long period. We outline potential capabilities and possible disadvantages and offer new preventative measures to stem from the propagation of genes and undo genetic modifications. Editing the sexual animal population would significantly benefit both people and the environment. For instance, RNA-guided gene drives may stop the spread of illness, assist farming by correcting bug and weed chemicals and resistance to herbicides, and manage harmful invasive species. However, each prospective use needs to be carefully evaluated due to the likelihood of unfavorable ecological repercussions and the near inevitability of dissemination beyond political boundaries. To investigate the responsible application of this now hypothetical technology, we want serious, inclusive, educated public conversations.
