Gene drive systems displaying threshold properties provide a solution since they can be confined to local populations and eliminated through dilution with wild-types. We propose a novel, threshold-dependent gene drive system, Medusa, capable of inducing a local and reversible population crash. Medusa consists of four components--two on the X chromosome, and two on the Y chromosome. A maternally-expressed, X-linked toxin and a zygotically-expressed, Y-linked antidote results in suppression of the female population and selection for the presence of the transgene-bearing Y because only male offspring of Medusa-bearing females are protected from the effects of the toxin. At the same time, the combination of a zygotically-expressed, Y-linked toxin and a zygotically-expressed, X-linked antidote selects for the transgene-bearing X in the presence of the transgene-bearing Y. Together these chromosomes create a balanced lethal system that spreads while selecting against females when present above a certain threshold frequency. Simple population dynamic models show that an all-male release of Medusa males, carried out over six generations, is expected to induce a population crash within 12 generations for modest release sizes on the order of the wild population size. Re-invasion of non-transgenic insects into a suppressed population can result in a population rebound; however this can be prevented through regular releases of modest numbers of Medusa males. Finally, we outline how Medusa could be engineered with currently available molecular tools.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/medusa-novel-gene-drive-system-confined-suppression-insect-populations", "reader_count"=>38, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Unspecified"=>1, "Researcher"=>12, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>2, "Student > Ph.

• {"files"=>["https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/1606400"], "description"=>"<p>A: To generate flies carrying the <i>Medusa</i> X chromosome (top), a construct carrying two cassettes (regions enclosed by brackets), each consisting of multiple genes, is introduced onto the X chromosome. Cassette 1 consists of maternal toxin 1 (Maternal T1) and zygotic antidote 2 (Zygotic A2). Cassette 2 carries zygotic antidote 1 (Zygotic A1). It also carries a set of flanking genes that can be used to excise Zygotic A1 from the chromosome in response to the presence of tetracycline. This is achieved as follows: a germline-restricted promoter drives the expression of the rtTA gene, which encodes a tetracycline-dependent transcriptional activator <a href=\"http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0102694#pone.0102694-Lycett1\" target=\"_blank\">[60]</a>. In the absence of tetracycline (upper chromosome), rtTA does not bind its target sites. Both sexes survive, as do all progeny of females carrying this construct. In the presence of tetracycline (middle chromosome), rtTA binds its target sites and drives the transcription of the FLP recombinase. FLP binds to two target sites (FRTs) and promotes the recombinational excision of the intervening genetic elements, which include a transcriptional stop sequence that prevents a ubiquitous promoter from driving expression of rtTA in all cells, and the rtTA, FLP and Zygotic A1 genes. Excision results in the creation of a chromosome (bottom chromosome) that carries cassette 1 and a newly created cassette 3, which consists of a ubiquitous promoter driving the expression of RFP, a visible marker. Female flies carrying this construct alone are sterile because no progeny inherit zygotic antidote 1, which is needed in order for progeny of mothers carrying maternal toxin 1 to survive. To generate flies carrying the <i>Medusa</i> Y chromosome (lower three chromosomes in A), a construct that carries two cassettes, each consisting of multiple genes, is introduced onto the Y chromosome. Cassette 1 consists of zygotic toxin 2 (Zygotic T2) and zygotic antidote 1 (Zygotic A1). Insects carrying this chromosome survive because they also carry cassette 2, which includes zygotic antidote 2 (Zygotic A2). Cassette 2 also carries a set of flanking genes that can be used to excise Zygotic A2 from the Y chromosome in response to the presence of tetracycline. This is achieved as above, for the X chromosome cassette. However, note that males carrying only the excised version of the <i>Medusa</i> Y chromosome, and no <i>Medusa</i> X chromosome, are dead because they express zygotic T2 but not Zygotic A2. In order to create insects that carry both the excised X cassette and the excised Y cassette, tetracycline-driven excision needs to be done in a context of a cross. B: A stock carrying the non-excised <i>Medusa</i> X and Y chromosomes (MT1–ZA2+R and ZT2–ZA1+R, respectively) is viable and fertile (upper, parental generation). When larvae (before differentiation of gametes) carrying these chromosomes are exposed to tetracycline, FLP-mediated recombination occurs in the germline, generating gametes that carry the excised versions of the <i>Medusa</i> X and Y chromosomes. Male progeny that inherit excised X and Y chromosomes survive because they carry zygotic antidote 2 as well as zygotic toxin 2. They are identified by the fact that they express both RFP and GFP. Female progeny with excised X chromosomes die because the action of maternal toxin 1 in the adult female is unopposed in progeny by zygotic antidote 1. Progeny that inherit non-excised chromosomes will lack GFP or RFP. Large numbers of <i>Medusa</i> males can be sorted away from these using fluorescence-based larval sorting technologies. These are the males used for release.</p>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["agriculture", "Pest control", "Computational biology", "Evolutionary biology", "population genetics", "genetics", "microbiology", "organisms", "animals", "invertebrates", "arthropoda", "insects", "mosquitoes", "Population biology", "Theoretical biology", "epidemiology", "disease vectors", "Vector biology", "Infectious diseases"], "article_id"=>1115536, "categories"=>["Biological Sciences"], "users"=>["John M.
