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 […]
Current and Future Challenges in Veterinary Virus Genomics, Pirbright, UK
This two-day meeting at Pirbright will focus on the application of genomics technologies in veterinary virology research (lab and in-silico based), but also facilitate networking and information exchange between both veterinary research and animal health diagnostics communities. It is this interface between both research and diagnostics that will contribute directly to the discussion surrounding the suitability […]
