Total probability that resistance evolves in our model. (A–C) as a function of and in our standard model, assuming three different effective population sizes (A) (B) and (C) Larger values of increase the probability of resistance, yet even in the scenario with low values of are still required if resistance from NHEJ is to be prevented. (D–F) as a function of and for fixed in three limiting cases of our standard model: (D) scenario of a very weak drive with cleavage rate Comparison with (B) shows that this has almost no effect on (E) Scenario with low driver costs, While this allows for larger values of the dependence on does not change much, since remains largely unaffected by the driver costs (compare with Figure 2B). (F) Scenario in which resistance alleles carry (codominant) fitness costs almost as large (90%) as those of the driver, In this case, resistance is unlikely to evolve from SGV or de novo mutation. However, it is still likely to evolve by NHEJ unless
