I wanna see receipts!
"“We used a novel version of the CRISPR system called CRISPR/Cas9n to successfully insert a tuberculosis resistance gene, called NRAMP1, into the cow genome. We were then able to successfully develop live cows carrying increased resistance to tuberculosis.
11 calves with new genes inserted using CRISPR were able to be assessed for resistance to tuberculosis and any off target genetic effects.
When the calves were exposed to M. bovis, the bacterium that causes bovine tuberculosis, the researchers found that transgenic animals showed an increased resistance to the bacteria"
Tuberculosis-resistant cows developed for the first time using CRISPR technology
CRISPR is going to seriously change the game. They have already created malaria resistant mosquitoes but haven't released them yet. They can effectively eradicate this disease from the planet that kills 500,000 people a year.
