Background Fighting and controlling epidemic and endemic diseases represents a
considerable cost to livestock production. Much research is dedicated to breeding disease …

Pigs serve as an important agricultural resource and animal model in biomedical studies.
Efficient and precise modification of pig genome by using recently developed gene editing …

By uniformly analyzing 723 RNA-seq data from 91 tissues and cell types, we built a
comprehensive gene atlas and studied tissue specificity of genes in cattle. We demonstrated …

The emergence of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) genome-editing system has brought about a …

Breeding for higher prolificacy may improve lamb production efficiency in semi-intensive and
intensive sheep-production systems. Crossbreeding of native breeds with exotic prolific …

Consumption of red meat contributes to the intake of many essential nutrients in the human
diet including protein, essential fatty acids, and several vitamins and trace minerals, with …

Dairy cattle breeders have exploited technological advances that have emerged in the past
in regards to reproduction and genomics. The implementation of such technologies in …

Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), and to a lesser extent, the error-free pathway known
as homology-directed repair (HDR) are cellular mechanisms for recovery from double-strand …

The application of new technologies for gene editing in horses may allow the generation of
improved sportive individuals. Here, we aimed to knock out the myostatin gene (MSTN), a …

As a new genetic engineering technology, gene editing can precisely modify the specific
gene sequence of the organism's genome. In the last 10 years, with the rapid development …
