Jennifer Doudna's research institute takes #CRISPR to #cow #burps in quest to solve #climatechange. The 980 million or so cows around the globe account for about 27% of all #methane #emissions linked to humans. #GenomicsInstitute hopes to soon be working on another solution: editing the #genomes of cows’ #microbiota to produce less methane. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/research/nobel-laureate-jennifer-doudna-and-colleagues-will-use-crispr-curb-methane-emissions-cows #climatechange #greenhousegas
