An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.
Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on an initial demonstration of its success in editing ...
With a grant from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, UC Davis will run an Animal and Veterinary Innovation Center looking into gene-editing technology in livestock such as sheep, pigs and cattle. ...
An animal geneticist at the University of California-Davis told Kansas cattle producers recently that a gene editing technique more common in plant genetics is also a safe option for shortening the ...
A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...
