Significance
Genetically modified animals are crucial for functional studies and translational biomedical research. However, the generation of genome-edited large animals is time consuming and inefficient. Here, we report the generation of transgenic pigs and chickens that ubiquitously express Cas9 nuclease. The functionality of Cas9 was demonstrat...
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is a highly cell-associated alphaherpesvirus that causes deadly lymphomas in chickens. While vaccination protects against clinical symptoms, MDV field strains can still circulate in vaccinated flocks and continuously evolve towards greater virulence. MDV vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity, allowing the virus to...
Genome editing technology provides new possibilities for animal breeding and aid in understanding host-pathogen interactions. In poultry, retroviruses display one of the most difficult pathogens to control by conventional strategies such as vaccinations. Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) is an oncogenic, immunosuppressive retrovirus that caus...
Genetically modified animals continue to provide important insights in biomedical sciences. Research has focused mostly on genetically modified mice so far, but other species like pigs resemble more closely the human physiology. In addition, cross-species comparisons with phylogenetically distant species such as chickens provide powerful insights i...
