(CN) – Scientists have created the first gene-edited reptiles: albino lizards. Researchers from the University of Georgia used CRISPR-Cas9 to make the index finger-sized lizards providing a technique ...

Scientists have created the world’s first genetically modified reptiles – four adorably tiny albino lizards. The achievement is a gene-editing breakthrough that could have applications for both ...

So far, the CRISPR gene-editing system has been successfully used in bacteria, plants, mice, pigs, monkeys, and even humans – but never reptiles, due to their tricky reproductive methods. Now, ...

Because researchers were targeting the lizards’ eggsbefore they were fertilized by the father, they thought that getting the albino mutation into the paternalDNA would take additional breeding. And ...

Compared to mammals, reptiles have a weird way of reproducing—and in the spring of 2017, that put Ashley Rasys in something of a pickle. For months, the University of Georgia biologist was struggling ...

Meet the world's first gene-edited reptiles: albino lizards roughly the size of your index finger. Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to make the lizards, providing a technique for gene editing outside of ...
