Description

Livestock Genome Editing Tools introduces applications and improvements to a series of new genome editing techniques in livestock, including pigs, cattle, and sheep. These tools include zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) system, as well as the traditional gene targeting tools. The book also summarizes a series of genome editing-related techniques including microinjection and somatic cell nuclear transfer. Written by international experts who have been working on livestock genetic editing field for over 30 years, this book provides extensively theoretical and practical experience for readers to master the latest developments. The writing of operation details makes this book an accessible read. It is an important resource for researchers interested in genome-edited animals, scientists and technicians in breeding institutions, and is also of interest to students major in animal reproduction and biological engineering.

Author Biography:

Dr. Kui Li graduated from Wuhan University with a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics. Prof. Li’s research interests include porcine genome and breeding, porcine genetic engineering, experimental mini-pigs, and medical models. He has been working on these fields more 30 years, which has been leading to great effect in the world and obtaining economic benefits. Since 2004, Prof. Li has systematically developed the researches of porcine genome, transcriptomes of different developmental stages, epigenome. Particularly, he first compared the multi-omics of different developmental stages of Chinese and Western pig breeds and found lots of multi-level molecular markers. Prof. Li generated more than 10 new breeding materials including MSTN-edited pigs, anti-porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome pigs, which provide the porcine breeding new technique and new material conservation. Dr. Bingyuan Wang is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Animal Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In 2014, she graduated from Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Germany. From 2015 to 2023, she worked in the Porcine Gene Engineering and Plasma Innovation group, which is led by Prof. Kui Li. Her research interests include the molecular mechanisms underlying porcine spermatogonial cells proliferation and apoptosis, the influence of exogenous factors in the porcine reproduction using porcine oocytes and spermatogonial cells, induction of gametes from porcine spermatogonial cells, and the generation of genome-edited pigs using porcine spermatogonial cells.
