cubeClvR: Inheritance Cube: ClvR (Cleave and Rescue)

In MGDrivE: Mosquito Gene Drive Explorer

Description

Based on the Cleave-and-Rescue system of Oberhofer, this is a 2-locus Cas9-based toxin-antidote system. The first locus carries the Cas9, gRNAs, and a recoded copy of an essential gene. The second locus is the targeted essential gene. This gene can be completely haplosufficient (hSuf = 1) or completely haploinsufficient (hSuf = 0). It is assumed that having 2 copies of the gene (be it wild-type at the second locus or recoded at the first) confers complete viability.

Usage

cubeClvR(
  cF = 1,
  crF = 0,
  ccF = cF,
  ccrF = crF,
  cM = 1,
  crM = 0,
  ccM = cM,
  ccrM = crM,
  dW = 0,
  drW = 0,
  ddW = dW,
  ddrW = drW,
  hSuf = 1,
  eta = NULL,
  phi = NULL,
  omega = NULL,
  xiF = NULL,
  xiM = NULL,
  s = NULL
)
