      General assessment of the work

      Gene drives can be used for sustainable control of disease vectors, and there is a need for a different gene drive strategies that can be tailored to the particular species, timescale, and desired spatial spread. Kandul and colleagues present a welcome new addition to the growing number of strategies for gene drive, called HomeR, that combines elements of killer-rescue and homing-based drive to exert spatiotemporal control over its spread, whilst counteracting the rise of resistant mutations. Whilst it is extremely promising, some major claims of this manuscript are inaccurate or unsupported by the evidence. The authors could easily address the most important concerns by expanding their sequencing analysis to better detect and quantify resistant mutations, paying careful attention not to overstress the potential of this drive to mitigate resistance, and by comparing the relative strengths of different drive strategies instead of focussing only on features that are most flattering to the HomeR strategy.

      Numbered summary of any substantive concerns

      1) The drive release strategy of Fig 4A + 4C is primed to underestimate and potentially mask resistance. In Fig 4A, where the authors search for signs of resistance, the population was seeded with males that were all homozygous for the drive, meaning that 100% of their G0 progeny will inherit it. As the rate of homing is close to 99%, only a small fraction of their G1 could have inherited a non-drive (potentially resistant allele) allele. In a realistic release scenario, resistant alleles will have ample opportunity to be generated and subsequently selected. Though still far from adequate, resistance testing would have been better performed on samples collected from the lower frequency releases in panel C. This experiment should not be used to draw strong conclusions about resistance to pHomeR, but should be used to make broader observations regarding the spread and stability of the construct.

      2) The strategy for sampling resistance will obscure almost all resistance in the population, and would fail to detect even a strong selection for it. Flies were only selected for resistance genotyping if they lacked GFP, meaning they carry two non-HomeR alleles (i.e. homozygous for the R1 allele or transheterozygous with another R1/R2/WT). One would expect most resistant alleles to be heterozygous in a population that was seeded with almost complete drive homozygosity. The authors could, and should, have done more to identify and quantify these. Amplicon sequencing was used to sample the full diversity of alleles in a larger pool of individuals (including GFP+ flies) collected at G10, why was this approach not used throughout? By adopting the approach earlier they would have been able to track the changing frequencies of R1 and R2 alleles over time.

      3) The impression given in the figure and main text is that R1 alleles were rare (or entirely absent), when they were not. In spite of the incredible advantage given to the drive, and a bias in sampling method that would mask the presence of resistant alleles, resistance was observed in every generation tested (G2, G3 and G10). The authors claim that because GFP-individuals were not observed in later generations, the resistant alleles had not come under positive selection. This logic is flawed, and indeed their own amplicon sequencing analysis performed on G10 flies revealed several resistant alleles, including an R1 present in 80% of non-drive alleles. The two most frequent mutant alleles detected were in frame, and I do not agree that these are likely to be deleterious recessive (as the authors speculated). These could be functionally resistant mutations. I believe there were many more R1 alleles in heterozygosity with the HomeR allele, these alleles could have been spreading, but were excluded from the genotyping analysis. Could these putative R1 individuals not have been specifically tested to see if they do, or do not confer resistance?

      4) The modelling takes a very limited approach to comparing different drive strategies, and by comparing proof-of-principle designs, important differences are obscured. For example, simple modifications that would mitigate resistance are likely to be included in many designs - such as multiplexing gRNAs. The nuances of each design are lost in a discussion focused on the rate of spread, which is largely irrelevant now because all of the drives are predicted to spread well.

      5) The authors did not discuss the relevance of having performed releases in a population that was already homozygous for Cas9. Do the release experiments and model really suggest the drive could spread if released into an otherwise WT population? I'm not sure the data presented in this manuscript can support that claim.

    1. Reviewer #4:

      PREreview of "Structural characterization of an RNA bound antiterminator protein reveal a successive binding mode" Authored by James L. Walshe et al. and posted on bioRxiv DOI: 10.1101/2020.09.27.315978

      Review authors in alphabetical order: Monica Granados, Katrina Murphy

      This review is the result of a virtual, live-streamed journal club organized and hosted by PREreview and eLife. The discussion was joined by ten people in total, including researchers and publishers from several regions of the world and the event organizing team.

      Overview and take-home message

      In this preprint, Walshe et al. use a structural approach to examine a bacteria's RNA-binding ANTAR protein, EutV, including how EutV's antitermination mechanism works to prevent transcription termination and thus regulate gene expression. In addition, the team examined how a single hexaloop with the conserved G4 is recognized in succession by conserved residues in the ANTAR domains, how conserved A1 helps with proper RNA folding, and how these interactions support RNA binding. Although this research is of interest in the field, there are some concerns that could be addressed in the next version. These are outlined below.

      Positive Feedback:

      -I appreciate the comment on how crucial it is to understand the system and structure of these proteins for therapeutic purposes. It helps exemplify the relevancy for people outside of this field.

      -I think it's interesting that there is potential for a new current model for ANTAR-mediated antitermination.

      -I found it interesting that the two domains of the dimer cannot bind to the P1 and P2 helices of the same RNA.

      -New data is used in this preprint and displayed openly in Supplementary Table 1.

      -This research is novel because it's the start of looking at specifics of the mechanisms ANTAR domain proteins use to prevent termination.

      -It will be interesting to look at bioinformatic analyses for the ANTAR domain across diverse bacterial strains. Especially in diverse ecological niches such as host-pathogen.

      -It would be interesting to look at the structure in the context of an RNA construct that includes the P1, P2, and all of the T-loop.

      -I am outside of this field of study, however, there are definitely a lot of details in this paper that it seems to be enough to reproduce. Though others possibly in the field have said, reproducibility is less likely in this type of work.

      -I'm outside of the field, but it is nice that they deposited the atomic sequences on a public repository. I wonder whether this is mandatory for acceptance?

      -Yes [the results are likely to lead to future research], now that there is more interest in mechanisms that ANTAR domain proteins use for antitermination.

      -Are these findings applicable for similar ANTAR proteins (homologues/orthologues) in other bacteria? What about more complex organisms?

      -Interesting topic!

      -First RNA bound!

      -Yes [I would recommend this manuscript to others and peer review], I think this is a promising manuscript.

      Major Concerns:

      -Lot of the details are included [in the preprint], lacking, however, is information in the method section about the modeling of the RNA using RNAComposer. It is mentioned in the results section, but not in the methods section.

      -It's not clear where the EMSA assay is used in the paper. It's mentioned in the methods section, but not anywhere else.

      -I think it would be helpful to see whether ANTAR mutants have anti-termination defects in a transcription reaction. Authors might consider being cautious talking about anti-termination without functional studies.

    1. No obstante, aunque desconocemos qué partícula constituye la materia oscura, ésto no significa que no entendamos cómo se comporta.

      El comprender el comportamiento de la materia oscura es un gran aporte a la ciencia

    2. A finales de la década de los 70 y comienzos de la década de los 80 del siglo XX, la necesidad de materia oscura no bariónica para explicar la formación de estructuras cosmológicas, junto con una muestra cada vez mayor de curvas de rotación de galaxias que mostraban un comportamiento plano, consolidaban la hipótesis de la existencia de materia oscura en el Universo.

    3. Casi 100 años después de que se empezara a hablar de materia oscura, la realidad es que no sabemos lo que es, pero afortunadamente sabemos qué no es.

      A pesar de todas las investigaciones, nos falta mucho por aprender y descubrir.

    1. Similarly problematic is the “cancel culture,” where people attempt to expunge anyone with whom they do not perfectly agree, rather than remain focused on those who profit from discrimination and injustice.

      This is very important and easy to understand

    3. Was it realistic to expect them to comprehend the experiences of black women

      This is really interesting. I definitely think there's no way to know what someone else's experience is like and we should all constantly be learning and educating ourselves to be more empathetic.

    1. Qu’en est-il de la prise de notes ? Des expériences ont été menées pour y voir plus clair. Utiliser un portable permet d’enregistrer un plus grand nombre de mots que sur le papier.

      L'auteur parle d'une pratique très précise, la prise de notes, le nombre de mots qu'on peut écrire. Il s'appuie sur des expériences ( mais dont on en connait pas les sources) qui conclurait que l'utilisation du clavier pour juste enregistrer des mots serait plus performant.

    1. Bref, certains journalistes pratiquent à une large échelle le « bâtonnage de dépêche » , de sorte que celui-ci occupe une part importante de leur temps : ils sélectionnent, éditent et publient des dépêches d’agence de presse, à un rythme soutenu ; ils publient sur le site web des articles écrits pour le journal papier. Dans tous les cas, ils ne vont pas (ou très peu) sur le terrain, et ils ne produisent des textes originaux qu’à la marge, quand ils ont le temps.

      Joue sur la pénibilité du travail accompli et la notion d'usinage dans les tâches pour accentuer le coté harassant ("sélectionnent, éditent, publient.... rythme soutenu...quand ils ont le temps" )

    2. Il faut évidemment prendre quelques précautions. Ainsi, en l’état actuel des recherches, il est impossible d’affirmer que ces manuels et mémoires sont représentatifs du journalisme francophone dans son ensemble, ni même qu’ils reflètent une pratique réellement intense ou au contraire plus marginale

      hypothèse plus que louable sur le fait que le journalisme n'est surement pas représentatif d'un plagiat constant. Mais qu'il est sûrement "l'arbre qui cache la forêt" et qu'il faut le voir dans son ensemble et sa globalité .

    3. on voit des copieurs-colleurs rendre honnêtement hommage aux créateurs originaux (si cette notion existe encore) des contenus qu’ils répliquent. D’autres, au contraire, se les approprient sans vergogne, et sans même un lien hypertexte pour signaler la source.

      Met en évidence le côté répréhensible et sans honte du journalisme plagiat.

    4. Et pourtant, les ciseaux et la colle jouent un rôle non négligeable dans les processus de production de l’information journalistique. Ou en tout cas, leurs jumeaux métaphoriques qui peuplent toutes nos interfaces informatiques : le copier/coller, CTRL-C/CTRL-V.

      "de l'information journalistique" généralisation sur un certain journalisme, sans toutefois représenter une majorité .

    1. Trouvez du soutien dans cette démarche qui va à contre-courant de la tendance générale de surconsommation et de surconnection. Non, vous n’êtes pas seul. Oui, il existe d’autres manières de vivre. Vous pouvez prendre part à des activités de groupe vous permettant de vous recentrer sur vos sens et votre ressenti. Par exemple, apprendre à jouer d’un instrument de musique, à sculpter le bois, à jardiner – même si vous habitez en ville, etc.

      L’enchaînement des idées a un effet persuasif au service de l'auteure. Fluide, "non, vous n'êtes pas seul. Oui, il existe d'autres manière de vivre." encourage le lecteur tout en défendant le point de vue de l'auteure.

    2. Est-ce que vous perdez la notion du temps quand vous surfez le Web ? Vous ne pouvez pas vous empêcher de regarder votre smartphone lorsqu’il vibre ? Vous paniquez si vous oubliez votre téléphone à la maison ? Vous êtes peut-être accro au digital.

      L'auteure accroche le lecteur par des questions fermées où le lecteur peut s'identifier. Il en découle une phrase "vous êtes peut-être accro au digital" incitant à continuer la lecture.

    3. Ce scénario vous paraît familier ? Selon une étude menée par Microsoft, la capacité de concentration de l’homme est passée de 12 à 8 secondes en dix ans. La cause ? L’omniprésence des écrans. Une étude de l’université de Californie à Irvine montre que travailler en étant constamment interrompu augmente le niveau de stress, car on a tendance à travailler plus vite pour rattraper le temps perdu. Aujourd’hui, une personne sur quatre vérifie son smartphone toutes les 30 minutes et 25 % des Millennials le consultent plus de cent fois par jour.

      L'auteure cite des études scientifiques avec les liens de celle-ci pour argumenter sa première partie. Elle enchaîne et présente les différents études sans réellement les mettre en lien entre elles. On peut considérer qu'il s'agit d'un raisonnement épistémique de type inductif où les faits vérifiés (de l'étude) permettent d'élaborer une conclusion générale émise juste après. On peut néanmoins mettre en avant le raccourci que fait l'auteure en citant ces différentes études une par une pour finir par poser sa conclusion, regroupant les conclusions des différentes études sans lien apparent entre elles.

    4. Je dois écrire un article scientifique suite à une conférence sur le réchauffement climatique. Il est temps que je m’y mette. Je m’installe à mon ordinateur. Document Word créé. Études scientifiques sélectionnées. Pile de livres à ma droite. Tisane d’ortie à ma gauche. J’ai une heure devant moi pour travailler sur cet article. Le multitasking, vous connaissez ? Dessin de l’auteur Fatalement, je suis connectée à Internet pour vérifier mes sources et peaufiner mon argumentaire. Fatalement, je reçois un ou cinq e-mails auxquels je ne réponds pas mais qui me déconcentrent. Mon téléphone vibre, mon ordinateur affiche des notifications, ma tablette m’envoie des annonces. Afin de gérer ce pic inattendu de cortisol, je tente de me calmer en regardant des photos sur Instagram, une vidéo sur YouTube et quelques posts sur un blog. Au final, j’ai perdu 20 minutes.

      Dans un premier temps, l'auteure utilise un raisonnement rhétorique de type pathos pour susciter des émotions chez le lecteur afin d'argumenter sa première partie. Original, cette partie permet de faire adhérer le lecteur à son premier argument: "passer du temps en ligne affecte notre productivité".
