cubeTwoLocusTA: Inheritance Cube: 2 Locus Maternal-Toxin/Zygotic-Antidote...

In MGDrivE: Mosquito Gene Drive Explorer

Description

This function creates a 2 locus maternal-toxin/zygotic-antidote system. This is similar to the construct called UDmel. There is no resistance generation in this model.
This drive has 2 unlinked alleles, 1 allele each at 2 loci:

• A: Maternal-toxin 1, zygotic-antidote 2

• a: Wild-type at locus A

• B: Maternal-toxin 2, zygotic-antidote 1

• b: Wild-type at locus B

Usage

cubeTwoLocusTA(
  TAEfficacy = 1,
  TBEfficacy = 1,
  eta = NULL,
  phi = NULL,
  omega = NULL,
  xiF = NULL,
  xiM = NULL,
  s = NULL
)

Arguments

TAEfficacy	Maternal toxin A efficacy
TBEfficacy	Maternal toxin B efficacy
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.
