Farmland gene editors want cows without horns, pigs without tails, and business without regulations The lobbying effort to get the FDA out of the way of biotech animals is under way.
In this study, the investigators inserted the NRAMP1 gene into the genome of bovine fetal fibroblasts—cells derived from female dairy cows—using the CRISPR/Cas9n technology.
The experiment was conceived as a proof of concept before extending the technology to cows, but the grant proposal was rejected.
Also recently, the battle over the patent to gene-editing breakthrough CRISPR came to an end as Cambridge-based Broad Institute retained lucrative rights to the technology.
For some skeptics of gene editing, a kind of gene-edited, supercharged probiotic pill might seem more palatable than modifying an entire species of cow, or growing meat in a bioreactor.
Gene Chips for Cows Applying cutting-edge genomics techniques to cattle might produce more milk and tastier beef.
It has been 20 years since Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned, but cloning mammals remains a challenge. A new study by researchers from the US and France of gene expression in developing ...
Part cow, part… bacterium? Biotech company makes heifer of gene-editing blunder Gene-edited cow project on the butcher block after bacterial genes found.
First Cloned Cow Gives Birth Meanwhile, Eve — the first cow in the world to be created by using handmade cloning technology — has given birth to another calf.
