Tethered homing system cage study. Individuals homozygous for the TARE drive were introduced into a population that was wild type at the drive site. The cage populations were followed for several discrete generations, each lasting 12 days, including 1 day of egg-laying. After the TARE drive reached fixation in two cages, individuals that were homozygous for the TARE drive and heterozygous for one of the split homing drives were released. All individuals from each generation were phenotyped for DsRed and EGFP, with positive drive carriers having either one or two drive alleles
