Researchers from Australia and the United States have shown the first example of a feasible gene drive system for controlling populations of invasive alien rodents. Invasive rodents, including house mice, are a major threat to the environment and biodiversity, particularly in island ecosystems. According to Island Conservation<\/a>, invasive rodents such as mice are likely responsible for the greatest number of island bird extinctions as well as damaged ecosystems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Existing tools such as the distribution of rodenticide can be used to control invasive rodent populations, but this method is expensive to use on a large scale and can have adverse effects such as contamination or harm to non-target species. Gene drives, a genetic approach that increases\u00a0the likelihood that a modified gene will be inherited within a target species, are being explored as a new method to combat these invasive alien pests.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

However, they have so far proven difficult to develop in mice. The new study<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> published in BioRxiv<\/em>, tests a novel gene drive technique known as t<\/em>CRISPR, that leverages a naturally occurring gene drive element that is frequently observed in wild mouse populations, the \u201ct haplotype\u201d.<\/p>\n

Using modelling, researchers demonstrated that t<\/em>CRISPR has eradication potential across a range of realistic scenarios. Although the impact of many empirical factors – such as seasonal population variation and possible DNA target site cleavage resistance – remains to be explored in detail, the study provides promising data supporting the potential use of gene drive technologies for the control of invasive mice for biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n
