A recent study has revealed that a new gene editing technology called CRISPR is being used on chickens to enhance their resistance to the bird flu (avian influenza). Researchers are attempting the CRISPR technique to contain the virus genetically, due to the increasingly lethal mutations of the bird flu spreading around the globe. CRISPR entails the use of a molecular tool that allows scientists to make targeted edits within DNA. After CRISPR was performed within the study, the scientists...
