UK scientists have developed genetically modified chickens capable of laying eggs containing proteins needed to make cancer-fighting drugs. The breakthrough has been announced by the same research ...

Genetically modified chickens could be the key to protecting endangered species and bringing back extinct ones, scientists say. Researchers in the US plan to replace sections of DNA in chick ...

Mexico is the leading importer of U.S. yellow corn, most of which is genetically modified. Almost all is fed to cattle, pigs and chickens in Mexico, because Mexico doesn’t grow enough feed corn.

But there’s early evidence that the groundbreaking science of CRISPR gene-editing could offer a solution—through genetically-modified chickens. The current avian flu outbreak is especially nasty.

Genetically edited chickens used to limit bird flu spread According to the study published in the journal Nature Communications, the modified birds showed no signs of any impact on the animals ...

Researchers use CRISPR technology to create chickens resistant to avian influenza, targeting specific genes to inhibit viral replication. The study reveals both the promise and complexities of ...

Researchers genetically edited chickens (one shown at right) to make the birds resistant to an avian influenza infection. The modified chickens were as healthy as an unedited bird (left). A. Idoko ...

The chicken cells had had their genomes edited, not to correct a faulty mutation, but in an effort to blunt the bird flu virus. The chickens that were bred from those cells were designed to be ...
