Table 2 Average number of distinct QTN edited across all 20 generations of future breeding using genome editing alone or with gene drives of different conversion efficacies
From: Potential of gene drives with genome editing to increase genetic gain in livestock breeding programs
Gene drive conversion efficiency | Average number of distinct QTN edited (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|
25 Sires edited at 20 QTN each | 5 Sires edited at 100 QTN each | |
Genome editing alone | 346.7 (340.4–353.0) | 1179.7 (1168.6–1190.8) |
0.50 | 508.2 (498.2–518.2) | 1943.5 (1923.7–1963.3) |
0.75 | 582.4 (576.9–587.9) | 2264.9 (2244.6–2285.2) |
1.00 | 656.3 (648.7–663.9) | 2612.9 (2593.1–2632.7) |
