Scientists have used #CRISPR gene-editing technology to create #chickens that are more resistant to avian #influenza.

The study suggests that genetic engineering could be a tool for reducing the toll of bird #flu. Breakthrough #infections still occurred, especially when gene-edited chickens were exposed to high doses of the #virus.

Creating flu-resistant chickens may require editing multiple #genes and proceeding carefully to avoid further #evolution of the virus.
