Abstract excerpt
Improving livestock and poultry growth rates and increasing meat production are urgently needed worldwide. Previously, we produced a myostatin (MSTN) and fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) double-knockout (MF-/-) sheep by CRISPR Cas9 system to improve meat production, and also wool production. Both MF-/- sheep and the F1 generation (MF+/-) sheep showed an obvious "double-muscle" phenotype. In this study, we...
