Additional gene edits will be necessary for complete protection against the virus.Altering a small section of chicken DNA improved resistance to avian influenza with no negative impacts on health or well-being, revealed new research from the University of Edinburgh, Imperial College London and Pirbright Institute.
¡°Gene-editing offers a promising route towards permanent disease resistance, which could be passed down through generations, protecting poultry and reducing the risks to humans and wild birds,¡± Mike McGrew, the study¡¯s principal investigator, from the University of Edinburgh¡¯s Roslin Institute, said in a statement
