A team of Chinese scientists has used CRISPR gene-editing tools to modify a species of fungus that can supposedly replace the protein provided by chicken, and purportedly even tastes like meat.<\/p>\n
The fungus would ostensibly be much easier and cheaper to cultivate than chicken, with less land required and a reduced impact on the environment.<\/p>\n
The breakthrough was first announced in an\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0entitled \u201cDual enhancement of mycoprotein nutrition and sustainability via CRISPR-mediated metabolic engineering of\u00a0Fusarium venenatum<\/i>,\u201d published in the journal\u00a0Trends in Biology\u00a0<\/i>on November 19.<\/p>\n Read more at: breitbart.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A team of Chinese scientists has used CRISPR gene-editing tools to modify a species of fungus that can supposedly replace the protein provided by chicken, and purportedly even tastes like meat.
