| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we used a new RNA editing technology, CRISPR/FnCas9 system, for prevention of avian influenza virus infection, whose genome RNA would be inactivated. To this end, we constructed several influenza virus vectors, each of which expresses either rgRNA or FnCas9, by reverse genetics. However, we were not able to generate such vectors having proper inserted sequences, which could be utilized for this system.
