Abstract:Chicken embryos are a powerful and widely used animal model in developmental biology studies. After the development of CRISPR technology, gene-edited chickens have been generated by transferring primordial germ cells (PGCs) after genetic modifications. However, the low inheritance caused by the competition between host germ cells and the transferred ones is the most common complication and largely reduces the production efficiency in this way. Here, we generated a gene-edited chicken, in which germ cells can b… Show more
