TL;DR

This study successfully established a YE1-AncBE4max-based platform for efficient, precise dual-gene editing in goats and showed that the edited goats exhibited significantly increased body weight and a "double-muscling" phenotype by 90 days of age compared to wild-type controls.

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated mstnb1 disruption enhances growth in rainbow trout

The effects of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9‐mediated disruption of the myostatin gene (mstnb1) on the growth performance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were evaluated. Two specific guide RNAs (gRNAs) targeting the first exon of the target gene were co‐injected into fer...
