Since genetically modified animals are helpful for functional analysis of gene or genome information, they are widely used in various life science studies, including Reproductive Biology. With the recent development of genetic modification tools, such as the CRISPR/Cas system, it is now possible to perform genetic modification via zygotes, which was once only possible using ES cells. This talk will introduce the technologies the speaker has reported or is under development.
