  • Patent number: 10959415
    Abstract: Methods, uses, and compositions for manipulating genomic DNA. Some of the embodiments of the invention provide for making a founder animal that is completely free of all unplanned genetic modifications. Some embodiments are directed to removing genetic faults in established breeds without making other alterations to the genome. Other embodiments are directed to particular tools or processes such as TALENs or CRISPR with a preferred truncation. One embodiment involves introducing a targeted targeting endonuclease system and a HDR template into a cell (optionally with a mismatch in the binding of the targeting endonuclease and the targeted site). Another embodiment includes processes of making a genetically modified livestock animal comprising a genome that comprises inactivation of a neuroendocrine gene selective for sexual maturation, with the inactivation of the gene preventing the animal from becoming sexually mature.

  • Publication number: 20190254266
    Abstract: Human or humanized tissues and organs suitable for transplant are disclosed herein. Gene editing of a host animal provides a niche for complementation of the missing genetic information by donor stem cells. Editing of a host genome to knock out or debilitate genes responsible for the growth and/or differentiation of a target organ and injecting that animal at an embryo stage with donor stem cells to complement the missing genetic information for the growth and development of the organ. The result is a chimeric animal in which the complemented tissue (human/humanized organ) matches the genotype and phenotype of the donor. Such organs may be made in a single generation and the stem cell may be taken or generated from the patient's own body. As disclosed herein, it is possible to do so by simultaneously editing multiple genes in a cell or embryo creating a “niche” for the complemented tissue.

  • Patent number: 8518701
    Abstract: Swine animal models comprising a genomic disruption of an endogenous gene chosen from the group consisting of a Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor gene LDLR, Duchene's Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) gene, and hairless gene (HR). Methods of preparing transfected cells useful for making a transgenic animal comprising exposing a first group of cells to a transfection agent and reseeding the group with additional cells that have not been exposed to the agent. The transgenic animals are useful for medical and scientific animal models of human diseases and conditions, as well as sources for cells, tissues, and biomaterials.
