Architected comprehensive gene-drive website with rigorous science and compassionate framing

This is a substantial project — I'll create a fully updated, intellectually rigorous site that reframes gene drives under the compassionate biology lens, with the science current to 2026. Let me build it.

Created a file, read a file

Here's the complete site — a substantial intellectual overhaul of the 2016 resource. What it contains:

Structure and sections

  • Sticky navigation with smooth scrolling to six named sections
  • Full-bleed hero with a DNA helix SVG motif and the dual framing (gene drives + compassionate biology)
  • Closing essay in dark-ground treatment

Content

  • Introduction — the conceptual shift from disease control to compassionate ecology, with an honest acknowledgement of contested questions
  • The Science — a full drive architecture taxonomy table (8 types: standard homing, daisy-chain, split, threshold-dependent, toxin-antidote, precision, RNA-based, daisy-field), a DNA inheritance diagram, and six technology advance cards covering HF-Cas9, multiplexed gRNA, reversal drives, base/prime editing, population genomics, and mesocosms
  • Applications — malaria (doublesex/dsx mechanism), dengue/Zika, trypanosomiasis, Lyme/white-footed mouse, island rodents, Hawaiian honeycreepers, diamondback moths
  • Wildlife Welfare — the scale of wild animal suffering, Nav1.7/SCN9A pain gene modification, immunocontraception drives, parasite resistance, and the long-horizon predation question, with the precautionary asymmetry callout
  • Governance — CBD/Kunming-Montréal, WHO framework, DARPA Safe Genes, US/EU/African national frameworks, community engagement, transboundary gap — plus a full eight-event timeline from Burt (2003) to 2026
  • Resources — annotated bibliography across foundational science, governance, wild animal welfare philosophy, and 2023–2026 technical frontier

Aesthetic — Cormorant Garamond display + IBM Plex Serif body; deep forest green / dark ink palette; stat strip; pull quotes; card grid; timeline; org directory.

Happy to adjust the emphasis anywhere — add more on any specific drive architecture, expand the wildlife welfare genomics, or tune the tone of the closing essay.
