Scientists have recently accomplished a groundbreaking feat by creating the world’s first genetically modified pigs that are resistant to diseases causing damage in the amount of $2.7 billion annually.
The genetically modified pigs, known as GMO-Svigny, were developed by the international company Genus using innovative technology. CRISPR, a cutting-edge tool widely utilized in scientific research and biotechnologies for gene editing, played a pivotal role in this remarkable achievement.
CRISPR technology has opened up new possibilities in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biology. It has paved the way for advancements like genetic therapy for treating hereditary diseases and the creation of pest-resistant crops. Known for its precision, efficiency, and accessibility, CRISPR holds great promise in revolutionizing genetic engineering.
