Genome Editing Used to Birth Castration-Free Prototype Piglets

Recombinetics/Acceligen and Hendrix Genetics have discovered a successful genome editing method to create swine that remain in a pre-pubertal state, thus eliminating the need for surgical castration. The first litter of castration-free prototype piglets using commercially relevant genetics confirms the methodology is working. [Source:
