Evolution-driving genes

Research in Microbiology, 2000
Genomic sequences provide evidence for a common origin of life and its evolution via selection of genetic variants created by mutation and recombination. Two classes of genes are known to accelerate mutation and/or recombination rates in bacterial populations: stress-inducible wild-type genes, usually part of the SOS regulon, and genes whose functional

Genes Driving the Colonoscope

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1997
Recent molecular genetic studies have significantly advanced our understanding of colorectal tumorigenesis. Important genetic alterations have been characterized with practical as well as biologic implications. Presymptomatic genetic testing is now available for two major inherited colorectal cancer predisposition syndromes.

Genes drive organisms and slippery slopes

Pathogens and Global Health, 2022
The bioethical debate about using gene drives to alter or eradicate wild populations has focused mostly on issues concerning short-term risk assessment and management, governance and oversight, and public and community engagement, but has not examined big-picture- 'where is this going?'-questions in great depth. In other areas of bioethical controversy,

Incorporating ecology into gene drive modelling

Ecology Letters, 2023
AbstractGene drive technology, in which fast‐spreading engineered drive alleles are introduced into wild populations, represents a promising new tool in the fight against vector‐borne diseases, agricultural pests and invasive species. Due to the risks involved, gene drives have so far only been tested in laboratory settings while their population‐level

Precaution: Open gene drive research

Science, 2017
In their Policy Forum “Precaution and governance of emerging technologies” (11 November 2016, p. [710][1]), G. E. Kaebnick and colleagues convincingly assert that precaution is consistent with support for science.

Gene drives raise dual-use concerns

Science, 2014
There is no doubt that clear regulations are required before gene drives can be released into the environment, as K. A. Oye et al. point out in their Policy Forum “Regulating gene drives” (8 August, p. [626][1]; published online 17 July). However, they do not address a more pressing concern.
