Seven Days Training on “CRISPR Editing in Fish at ICAR-Directorate of Coldwater Fisheries Research

ICAR is delighted to welcome you to the Seven Days Training on “CRISPR Editing in Fish,” scheduled from 27 August to 02 September 2024. CRISPR/Cas9 heralds a paradigm shift in aquaculture by enabling precise manipulation of traits. Its superior cost-effectiveness, streamlined construct design, and diminished off-target effects outperform traditional methodologies. Encouraging advancements are noted in growth and disease-resistance alterations. Furthermore, it enhances flesh quality, pigmentation, and elucidates novel gene functions. While challenges persist, the vast potential of CRISPR/Cas9 for fish genome modification endures. Don’t Miss This Opportunity to Enhance Your Skills in CRISPR Editing in Fish
