Study Finds Gene Editing in Cattle Produces No Off-Target Mutagenesis |
|
|
|
Scientists investigated the off-target and de novo mutagenesis in a cattle line bearing edits for diluted coat-color using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The results revealed that no off-target events were detected during genome sequencing, providing evidence that the technology is an effective tool to rapidly introduce variations into cattle populations with fewer chances of off-target mutations.
