Scientists Use CRISPR To Gene-Edit Chickens To Make Them Resistant To The Bird Flu – Raises ‘Next Pandemic’ Concerns

by Jacob M. Thompson

 

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield explicitly has warned that bird flu will be the “next great pandemic,” that will “happen because of gain-of-function research in a laboratory and then escape and then we’re going to have a pandemic…”

On October 10th, the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom revealed that a team of their scientists had successful gene-edited chickens with the genomic splicing tool called CRISPR, to make the birds resistant to strains of the avian influenza.

In a collaborative effort that included researchers from Imperial College London and the Pirbright Institute, bred altered chickens with a modified section of DNA responsible for producing the protein ANP32A; which scientists believe is used by bird flu viruses to hijack and replicate…
