Abstract: Compositions and methods for making livestock with a polled allele are presented, including migrating a polled allele into a bovine species without changing other genes or chromosomal portions.

Abstract: 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. Methods of using, and processes of making, the animals are taught.

Abstract: A genetically modified livestock animal comprising a genomic modification to an eIF4G gene. Cells, genes, and proteins encompassing a protease-resistant eIF4G protein or gene.

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.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for use of TALENs to make genetically modified livestock or other animals are set forth. Some of the embodiments of the invention provide for making an 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 a TALENs with a preferred truncation.

Abstract: Transgenic artiodactyls are described as well as methods of making and using such artiodactyls.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for use of TALENs to make genetically modified livestock are set forth. The methods may include reporters for selecting cells or embryos that have been modified by TALENs for use as progenitor cells to make founder animals.
