Horses with genomic edits to make them run faster have been banned from polo, but a zoo of CRISPR-edited animals is gaining ...

In this study, the investigators inserted the NRAMP1 gene into the genome of bovine fetal fibroblasts—cells derived from female dairy cows—using the CRISPR/Cas9n technology.

Farmland gene editors want cows without horns, pigs without tails, and business without regulations The lobbying effort to get the FDA out of the way of biotech animals is under way.

Gene Chips for Cows Applying cutting-edge genomics techniques to cattle might produce more milk and tastier beef.

Furthermore, gene editing is much more precise than techniques used to create transgenic animals, “so you avoid collateral damage,” Muir told Popular Science.

Also recently, the battle over the patent to gene-editing breakthrough CRISPR came to an end as Cambridge-based Broad Institute retained lucrative rights to the technology.

The experiment was conceived as a proof of concept before extending the technology to cows, but the grant proposal was rejected.

They couldn't. Instead they decoded cow DNA in a quick and dirty way on a new type of gene decoding machine made by a company called Solexa, with which Sonstegard had been working.

Part cow, part… bacterium? Biotech company makes heifer of gene-editing blunder Gene-edited cow project on the butcher block after bacterial genes found.

That means the cows will be able to survive in hotter weather and this could make looking after them an easier task. It’s unclear when this type of beef would be made available in the US.
