🐾 NEW: Alfie and Bailey are the first dogs engineered with #CRISPR to lack the major allergen Can f 1. Allergy tests on their saliva and dander showed no reaction, unlike samples from a regular #beagle and other breeds.
Kindred Companion Sciences created them and now plans to breed edited founder #animals for future lines. The #dogs await #FDA approval before sale. Experts note unresolved ethical questions about engineering #pets.

“We’ve created an enormous amount of inherited diseases in dogs, often unintentionally, because of our pursuit of certain traits that appeal to us,” said Rowena Packer, an expert on companion animal welfare at the Royal Veterinary College in London. “I just think we have a lot more responsibility to think more critically about the dogs that we create.”

Edit: raised $50 so far. Please help us get that other $700 covered ASAP? If you can't cover it all, any part of it you can cover is less still to raise.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but if we can't raise Atha and Inara the $750 to cover immigration bureaucracy within the next week, a cascade of problems will unfold that jeopardizes the future of not only Atha and Inara, but also the entire project of the Vulpibus. Problems including a $500 fine imposed in court, points on the license, more expensive insurance, inability to get paid work in the USA and probably inability to leave the USA for any chosen reason too. Problems also potentially including deportation of Atha back to the UK.
USCIS made a mistake and they are leaving it to us to pick up the pieces, and fast.
Can you help?

The EU has finally endorsed #geneediting to introduce novel traits in plants—without treating them like GMOs in terms of #regulation if the plants could have arisen thru conventional #plantbreeding. This means the EU has reopened to innovative agricultural #biotech companies: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

"Doctors took Mei for a full-body CT scan and then rushed her to the intensive care unit. Her brave face had begun to crack. 'Mom, I want to go home,' she told her mother, before vanishing into the ward."

Engineered #hookworms could one day dispense #drugs from inside your gut
Researchers have #geneticallymodified the intestinal #parasites to make an antitoxin
Using #CRISPR #geneediting, scientists engineered hookworms that live in the human gut to make an #antibody against deadly toxin
Eventually, small numbers of hookworms may secrete drugs or other substances into people’s bloodstreams to treat a wide variety of diseases from allergies to obesity

This is a WIP storyboard of the work Atha and Inamruzui are doing at @vulpinelabs
Each module handles a different aspect of the body with gene editing and transformational goals in mind.
If you want to get involved in developing any of the hundreds of submodules for the GUESS Universal Editing Suite and SDK for the gene editing system, please get in touch!
This stuff can't happen without basic needs being met. Please be kind and donate if you can.https://ko-fi.com/athakitsune

A fascinating conversation with the Nobel Laureate.
"In the first episode of the new season of ‘The Joy of Why,’ Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna discusses how she discovered CRISPR’s genome-editing power, the breakthroughs and hurdles during its explosive growth, and what lies ahead for this groundbreaking technology."
