The paper describes a low-tech method for cryopreserving chicken embryonic gonads to conserve genetic diversity for poultry breeding.

This paper models how gene editing and vaccination can reduce PRRS in pigs, finding that 10% gene-edited pigs in some herds with vaccination could eliminate the disease in 3-6 years.

This paper introduces HD-ClvR, a CRISPR-based gene drive system that eliminates resistance and localizes spread, demonstrating its effectiveness in controlling grey squirrel populations.

This paper reports unexpected severe hydrops fetalis in CRISPR-Cas9 edited pigs with a FBN1 deletion, highlighting potential off-target effects and the need for comprehensive genomic analysis.

This study simulates strategies for using surrogate sire technology to enhance genetic merit in livestock breeding, finding a three-stage approach most effective for maximizing genetic gain.

This paper presents a high-resolution gene expression atlas for sheep, identifying transcriptional signatures and functional annotations across tissues and developmental stages.
