Potential of promotion of alleles by genome editing to improve quantitative traits in livestock breeding programs

BACKGROUND: Genome editing (GE) is a method that enables specific nucleotides in the genome of an individual to be changed. To date, use of GE in livestock has focussed on simple traits that are controlled by a few quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN) with large effects. The aim of this study was to...
