Summary:
- Researchers at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST-K) in Kashmir, India have successfully created the country's first gene-edited sheep.
- The gene-edited sheep was created using a technique called CRISPR-Cas9, which allows for precise modifications of the animal's genetic code.
- This breakthrough in gene editing technology could lead to the development of livestock with improved traits, such as increased disease resistance or higher productivity, which could benefit the agricultural industry and food security.
