The future of livestock production through Genome editing breeding

Genome editing is a technology to freely rewrite genes and was the reason for the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Seturotech is a start-up company from the University of Tokushima that has begun to use highly efficient genome editing technology to improve breeds in the livestock industry. Chickens that can be sexed may change the business model for egg-laying hens. High-quality cashmere may also change the livestock industry in Mongolia.
