China Produces World's First Gene-Edited Dogs Using CRISPR/Cas9 System

Dogs exhibit close similarities to humans in terms of metabolic,physiological,and anatomical characteristics,and thus are ideal genetic and clinical models to study human diseases.Gene target technology is a powerful tool to create new strains of animals with favorable trails.However,gene-target dogs were not developed for a long time due to their unique species-specific reproductive characteristics which limited their applications,especially in the field of biomedical research.Recently.LAI Liangxue and his coworkers
