The Chicken Whisperer: How Poultry Breeding Became a Genomics Empire
What is genomic selection in animal breeding and why has poultry become one of its most commercially advanced applications?
The Old Man and the Gene: Salmon, Science, and the $19 Billion Catch
In 1989, a small team of scientists at a company that would eventually become AquaBounty Technologies did something that had never been done before: they inserted the growth hormone gene from a Chinook salmon into an Atlantic salmon embryo, paired with a promoter sequence from the ocean pout that kept the growth hormone active year-round instead of only in spring and summer.
Of Mice and Mammals: The GenomicUpgrade Coming to Your Food Supply
The global animal genetics market is nearly $7 billion and growing, but that figure understates its real economic significance. The companies controlling pedigree genetics sit upstream of billions of animals and trillions of dollars in food production - and gene editing is just now entering the commercial herd.
