Gene Drive Monitor (Publication Date: Jan 2023)

The database includes: (i) Laboratory research and modelling on gene drives as reported in the academic literature and other sources such as press releases from funders and universities; (ii) Proposals for gene drives as identified from the natural sciences literature; (iii) Proposals deriving from other academic literature (such as literature relating to policy or ethics) are included at the discretion of the researchers, for example if such proposals designate novel targets; and (iv) The datab ...

Gene Drive Development in Insect Targets: A Horizon Scanning Survey (Publication Date: Jun 2026)

Summary: Screening and analysis of the scientific literature up to 31 December 2023 showed: (i) Gene drives were developed or proposed in 43 insect species1. Additionally, gene drives were proposed for 5 general taxonomic groups of insects: (ii) Of these 48 insect species or groups the majority are agricultural pests, 28 in total, while 17 are vectors of human disease, in particular malaria. The agricultural pests include 6 livestock pests or livestock disease vectors, which partially overlap wi ...

Gene Drive Development in Non-Insect Targets – including Vertebrates, Snails, Fungi and Plants: A Horizon Scanning Survey up to end 2023 (Publication Date: Apr 2026)

Summary: Screening and analysis of the scientific literature for gene drive development in non-insect targets up to 31 December 2023,1 showed: (i) There are 46 current or proposed non-insect targets; (ii) Proposals span a wide range of species and taxonomic groups: from mammals and fish to snails, arachnids, fungi and plants; (iii) In the vast majority of cases the aim is to suppress or eradicate the target; (iv) Compared to gene drive systems in insects, the systems in other taxonomic groups ar ...

Cutting through the hype in synthetic biology: Will gene drives work? (Publication Date: Oct 2025)

Excerpt: Using analogies from engineering, the field of synthetic biology has put forth a vision of biology by design. Some practitioners have acknowledged that it has been used by some to promise ‘easy solutions to difficult problems’ and warn that it must not be framed as ‘the one technical solution to many grave world problems’. Engineered gene drives (EGD) are a form of synthetic biology that have attracted much investment and attention by promising just such easy solutions to serious proble ...
