    摘要: The invention relates to methods of minimising environmental impacts from farmed animals, such as dairy animals. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of minimising the nitrogen load from animals by the steps of: (a) testing animals to identify individual nitrogen load; and, (b) manipulating animal gene or genes in order to reduce the average nitrogen load. By identifying animals with a low average nitrogen load, they may then be manipulated and appropriate management used, for example, by grazing such animals in certain land areas that are more at risk of nitrogen emissions to the environment or by breeding from these animals. Animals with a high average nitrogen load could be grazed in areas that have a lower risk of nitrogen emission or could be culled altogether.

    摘要: Chickens that selectively produce female offspring are provided. In some aspects, a bird or cells thereof are provided that comprise an autosomal repressor cassette integrated on at least one copy of an autosome, which can suppress the expression of a protein essential for early development. In some aspects, a bird or cells thereof are provided that comprise an ectopic rescue cassette and a repressor cassette on the W or Z chromosome, which can selectively rescue embryo development in progeny animals. Methods for producing such animals and for production of commodity poultry eggs are also provided.

    摘要: The subject invention pertains to a Molecular Cell Diary System (MCDS), which allows identification of the history of somatic alterations in the cell. MCDS comprises one or more combinations of a DNA cutter and a DNA writer expressed under the control of a promoter controlled a cellular event of interest. The DNA cutter and the DNA writer are in a combination are co-expressed when an even of interest occurs. The DNA cutter creates double strand breaks (DSB) in a target DNA in a sequence specific manner and the DNA writer incorporates DNA sequences in the DSB. The endogenous DNA repair machinery synthesizes repairs the DSB. As such, the combination of the DNA cutter and the DNA writer modifies the target DNA and leaves "marks" of the occurrence of the cellular event of interest. These marks are sequenced and the cellular event history of the cell is deciphered.

    摘要: Provided herein is a recombinant or transgenic non-human mammal comprising a nucleic acid encoding a mutant three-prime exonuclease 1 (three prime repair exonuclease 1; TREX1), and in particular aspects the mammal expresses the mutant Trex1 protein. The non-human mammal is useful for identifying candidate compounds for the treatment of autoimmune disease (in human or animal, typically mammalian) subjects. Another aspect of the invention is, accordingly, a method for indentifying candidate compounds for the treatment of autoimmune disease or disorder comprising: providing the recombinant non-human mammal; administering a test substance to the recombinant non-human mammal; and determining whether said test substance reduces at least one indicia of autoimmune disease in said mammal, wherein a reduction in said at least one indicia indicates said test substance is a candidate compound for the treatment of autoimmune disease.
