Improving germline transmission efficiency in chimeric chickens using a multi-stage injection approach.

Although different strategies have been developed to generate transgenic poultry, low efficiency of germline transgene transmission has remained a challenge in poultry transgenesis. Herein, we developed an efficient germline transgenesis method using a lentiviral vector system in chickens through mu...
