Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chicken is a commercially important animal and its genetic modification is expected for agricultural, industrial, and scientific applications. There are various possible and beneficial applications of genetically modified (GM) chicken. For example, stable expression of recombinant protein such as biopharmaceutical in oviduct gland cells will result in the production of chicken eggs which contain the valuable protein abundantly in the egg albumen. In this study, we tried to develop several methods for generation of GM chicken which stably and abundantly express foreign genes. Using chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs), we succeeded to introduce mouse artificial chromosome into the cells and establish germline chimera. We also established GM chickens via PGCs which introduced foreign genes by transposon system. Furthermore, we generated gene knockin and knockout chickens by genome editing. These method will open new avenues to generate valuable GM chickens.
