Macqueen lab part of exciting genome editing project in salmon

The lab is excited to collaborate in a new BBSRC project led by Prof. Ross Houston at the Roslin Institute.

The project is titled 'Improving resistance to infectious salmon anaemia using genome editing: Novel approaches to tackling viral disease in aquaculture’ and will exploit CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing.

The project kick-off meeting is next week - lots of excellent UK collaborators involved from Roslin, Aberdeen and Industry, as well as international partners.
