Modelling gene drives to suppress a grey squirrel population

Led by Nicky R. Faber

Summary

This is the code we used to model gene drives to supress a grey squirel population in Faber et al. (2021) - see the code for implementation (adaptation of the code from Prowse et al.(2017)) and read Faber et al. (2021) for description of the model and its application.
