This is a modified split-drive construct for split-suppression drives. This is an autosomal, 2-locus drive. The first locus contains the Cas9 allele and the second locus has the gRNA construct. Cas9 efficacy in each sex is dependent upon parent of inheritance. This construct has 3 alleles at the first locus and 4 alleles at the second.

  • Locus 1

    • W: Wild-type

    • P: Paternal Cas9

    • M: Maternal Cas9

  • Locus 2

    • W: Wild-type

    • G: gRNAs

    • R: Resistant 1

    • B: Resistant 2
