The threshold release frequency of threshold gene drives increases with the fitness cost imposed by the drive constructs. Shown here are the release thresholds for three gene drives—Medea (blue line), 2-locus engineered underdominance (red line), and 1-locus engineered underdominance (yellow line)—as they vary with the fitness cost incurred by individuals homozygous for the drive constructs.
