A WSU sausage has made history. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the university to use its gene-edited pigs for human consumption — in this case, as tasty, German-style sausages.
Discovery of a gene in multiple mammalian species could pave the way for a highly effective, reversible and non-hormonal male contraceptive for humans and animals.
Washington State University Professor Jon Oatley covered the growing problem of food insecurity and how genome engineering may help feed the planet during a talk titled “The Human-Animal Genomic Bond.”
Researchers at WSU can now more easily study how cells pass information to each other, thanks to nearly $500,000 in grants from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
