Researchers at CAS used CRISPR gene editing to target 20 <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/genes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>genes</span></a> involved in embryonic development, producing seven live pups from 164 embryos. The surviving mice grew larger than normal, had enlarged organs, were infertile and had shorter lifespans. <br><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/01/28/1110613/mice-with-two-dads-crispr" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">technologyreview.com/2025/01/2</span><span class="invisible">8/1110613/mice-with-two-dads-crispr</span></a></p>
