Genome-Edited Chickens and Ducks Produced Using Non-PGC Method |
|
Scientists from the Ohio State University found a way to develop genome-edited chicken and duck lines without having to use primordial germ cells (PGCs). The new method offers a new option for researchers to conduct avian genome editing without conducting technically difficult procedures of the conventional method that is currently only used for chickens.

New Technique TARDIS Makes Gene Editing at Scale Possible in Animals |
|
Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed a new gene editing technique that compresses what previously would have taken years of work into just a few days, making new kinds of research possible in animal models. The new technique will allow researchers to compare many versions of a gene in experiments and look for mutations that lead to specific traits and tracking their evolution over time.
