The creation and selection of mutations resistant to a gene drive over multiple generations in the malaria mosquito

Creation & selection of mutations resistant to a #GeneDrive over mult. generations in the malaria mosquito
http://journals.PLoS.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1007039 Indels created by #NHEJ-based repair of DS breaks give rise to resistance (probably resulting from mis-matches due to
micro-homologies near breakpts)
