I definitely argued this case for my teddy bear up until I was about six years old...

I think I've met everyone 🤔

This week I will having to be contending with some serious FOMO...

Takeaway: Gene drive success depends not just on design, but on natural population variation & rigorous analysis.
We must study drives across multiple species + account for real-world genetics to deploy them effectively.

This contrasts with Anopheles mosquitoes, where drives seemed highly efficient. But our study shows:
✅ Lower drive efficiency in Culex makes subtle effects easier to spot
✅ Choice of analysis is key — some methods can hide these mismatches in other systems.

Thanks for the shout-out.
Can't take credit for the slide though.
I think I would recommend some bootstrapping before picking a rank-based test 😉
