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.
