[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7733410, member: 348"] Not at all. The AA was used to introduce a poll gene, then backcrossed to remove the less desirable traits of the Angus (from a dairy perspective). In a long winded manner, a desirable gene from another animal of the same species was introduced. All Gene Editing does is replicate that process, but faster and with less animal wasteage (culling of those cross animals that didn’t carry the required genetics). It’s a totally different technology to Genetic Modification, both technically and ethically. [/QUOTE]
