Here we report the development and testing of a novel self-limiting gene drive system, Killer-Rescue (K-R), in Drosophila melanogaster. This system is composed of an autoregulated Gal4 Killer (K) and a Gal4-activated Gal80 Rescue (R). Overexpression of Gal4 is lethal, but in the presence of R activation of Gal80 leads to much lower levels of Gal4 and rescue of lethality. We demonstrate that with a single 2 1 engineered to wild-type release, K drives R through the population and after nine generations, more than 98% of the population c
