Virus-like particles enable highly efficient gene editing across porcine and avian in vitro, ex vivo , and in ovo models
PLOS ·
The Brief
- A study published in PLOS Biology reports gene editing using virus-like particles.
- The authors report efficient editing in pig (porcine) and bird (avian) models across in vitro, ex vivo and in ovo settings.
- The provided sources do not include quantitative efficiency figures or other detailed results.
Why it matters
If virus-like particles can deliver gene editing reliably in livestock and avian models, researchers may be able to run such experiments more efficiently, though the available source gives no quantitative detail.
Who’s affected
