This is a sex-specific version of CRISPR with small-molecule induced homing. It assumes that the construct is on an autosome and there can be different male/female homing rates. It also has maternal deposition, i.e., when the male provides a W allele to a female with a H allele, some portion are cut during oogenesis. Additionally, this cube is designed for small-molecule induction, i.e., with the SM branch of MGDrivE. It allows the homing (H) allele to be turned off into an O allele, which inherits stably, and so that all offspring of H individuals are O until turned on with the spray. If the maternal deposition parameters are zero (d* parameters), this is a normal CRISPR drive.
