First Gene-Edited Dogs Reported in China by Julia Bolzon

“…Today, it is an independent research institute with more than 4000 employees.[5] Also featured was an embryologist in charge of creating mini-pigs: genetically modified pig embryos made more susceptible to disease (for example, type II diabetes) who are then cloned to be studied as model organisms.[6]In other provinces in China, BGI has experimental farms that clone cows and sheep as part of their “Ark Biotechnology” enterprise, whose focus is the mass production of transgenic (genetically altered cross-species) cloned animals.[7] But what is behind China’s intense drive for genetic engineering and cloning? …”
