India's First Gene-Edited Sheep Tarmeem: An Update

TL;DR
India's first gene-edited sheep, Tarmeem, has turned one year old and is thriving, showing increased muscle growth due to CRISPR technology targeting the myostatin gene. Researchers aim to use this technology to enhance meat production sustainably in Kashmir, potentially revolutionizing local agriculture and addressing food security issues. The project marks a significant step in applying gene editing in livestock within India, though regulatory and ethical considerations remain.
