In MGDrivE: Mosquito Gene Drive Explorer

Description

This function creates a RIDL system. RIDL (Release of Insects with Dominant Lethality), is a form of SIT. Created by Oxitec, this is based on a positive feedback loop using the toxic tTAV gene, controlled under lab conditions by the TetO promoter. This has 2 alleles at 1 locus

• W: Wild-type allele

• R: OX513 RIDL allele

Usage

cubeRIDL(
  eta = NULL,
  phi = NULL,
  omega = NULL,
  xiF = NULL,
  xiM = NULL,
  s = NULL
)

Arguments

eta	Genotype-specific mating fitness
phi	Genotype-specific sex ratio at emergence
omega	Genotype-specific multiplicative modifier of adult mortality
xiF	Genotype-specific female pupatory success
xiM	Genotype-specific male pupatory success
s	Genotype-specific fractional reduction(increase) in fertility

Value

Named list containing the inheritance cube, transition matrix, genotypes, wild-type allele, and all genotype-specific parameters.
