Itll work on chickens. the researchers here have found a way of deactivating a gene involved with embryo development. the system can be programmed to stop either male orfemale embryos from developing using a technique called gene editing. the sex of a mammal is determined by its chromosomes. females have a pair of xs, males have an x and y. the process involves inserting half the gene editing molecule into the fathers y chromosome, and the other half into the mothers dna. after mating, male xy e...

Chicks are killed every year shortly some six to 7 billion male layer chicks are killed every year shortly after birth at a point when they have a nervous system scientists at the francis crick institute in london have found that the system was successful in mice, and they think itll work on chickens. in mice, and they think the researchers here have found a way of deactivating a gene involved with embryo development. the system can be programmed to stop either male or female embryos from develo...

Chicks are killed every year shortly after birth at a point when they have a nervous system and are capable of suffering. we would like to be able to move to a system where those same eggs are laid but instead never hatch. scientists at the francis crick institute in london have found that the system was successful in mice, and they think itll work on chickens. the researchers here have found a way of deactivating a gene involved with embryo development. the system can be programmed to stop eith...

The cause of Earth’s deepest earthquakes has been a mystery to science for more than a century, but a team of Carnegie scientists may have cracked the case. New research published provides evidence that fluids play a key role in deep-focus earthquakes—which occur between 300 and 700 kilometers below the planet’s surface. The research team includes Carnegie scientists Steven
