First Gene-Edited Livestock Created That Can Serve as 'Super Surrogates'
Scientists have created first gene-edited livestock that can serve as viable "surrogate sires" – males that produce sperm carrying only the genetic traits of donor animals – an advance that they say could improve food production for a growing global population.

US NAS Says Use Gene-Editing Tools for Disease, Not Designer Babies
The US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued a 200-page-plus report Tuesday meant to serve as ethical guidelines for gene-editing technologies.

Finally, Scientists Discover Human Protein That Fights Zika
Scientists have discovered human proteins that Zika virus needs for replication by performing the first screen using gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9, an advance that may help fight Zika, dengue and other emerging viral infections.

HIV Can Develop Resistance To Gene-Editing Tool
Mutating HIV with the gene-editing platform CRISPR/Cas9 may inhibit viral replication, but it can also lead to the creation of viruses that are resistant to gene editing and more difficult to target, scientists say.

Gene Editing Tool Treats Muscular Dystrophy In Adult Mammal
Scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have successfully used a gene editing tool to treat a genetic disease in a fully developed living mammal for the first time, an advance that may be translated in humans.
