  • Publication number: 20260293865
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for producing modified avian animals such as modified female chickens. The modified female chickens have a modified Z chromosome that includes a sequence encoding a toxin, expression of which is under control of a promoter configured so that expression of the toxin is lethal to an oocyte, zygote or embryo that has the Z? chromosome. The modified Z? chromosome may also include a sequence encoding an anti-toxin that mitigates lethality of the toxin to permit development of a male chicken from an egg fertilized by the oocyte or a zygote that has the Z? chromosome.
