Summary
Su et al. (2025) "created fatty acid desaturase 3 (Fad3) transgenic cattle by utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology to insert a codon-optimized Fad3 gene sequence into bovine fibroblast cells and employing somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology. Gas chromatographic analysis confirmed that the n-3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) content in the transgenic cattle was significantly increased, while the ratio of n-6 PUFAs to n-3 PUFAs decreased." This study involves gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
