Welcome to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study examining a range of questions and opinions about the science, oversight, governance, and ethics of gene-drive research. Gene drives, a type of gene editing, spread gene modifications throughout a population of organisms intentionally. This study is intended to provide an independent, objective examination of what has been learned since the development of gene drives based on current evidence. The study is being conducted by a committee of experts and is expected to be released in 2016.
