Gene-editing technology produces calf with reduced susceptibility to a viral pathogen

A proof-of-concept study by U.S. researchers provides the first example of gene editing in cattle to reduce the impact of a major viral disease. Researchers from USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) and the University of Kentucky, collaborated with industry partners, Acceligen and Recombinetics, Inc., to produce a calf with resistance […]
