Simulation of dual-purpose chicken breeding programs implementing gene editing

CONCLUSIONS: This simulation demonstrates the potential of gene editing to accelerate the simultaneous improvement of negatively correlated traits. When the risk of negative consequences from gene editing persists, the number of SNPs to be edited should be chosen carefully to obtain the optimal genetic gain.PMID:38233762 | PMC:PMC10795215 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00874-3
