Production and characterization of eggs from hens with ovomucoid gene mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Ovomucoid is a major egg white protein which is considered as the most dominant allergen in chicken eggs. Owing to the difficulty of separating ovomucoid from egg whites, researchers have adopted genetic deletion for development of hypoallergenic eggs. Previously, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to establish chickens with ovomucoid gene (OVM) mutations, but it remained unknown whether such hens could produce eggs at...
