Milk is a good source of nutrition but is also a source of allergenic proteins such as α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin (BLG), casein, and immunoglobulins. The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas technology has the potential to edit any gene, including milk allergens. Previously, CRISPR/Cas has been successfully employed in dairy cows and goats, but buffaloes remain unexplored for any milk trait.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aseem Tara"

  • - Aseem Tara's recent research focuses on the application of CRISPR/Cas technology for gene editing in buffaloes, specifically targeting the β-lactoglobulin (BLG) gene, which is associated with milk allergenic properties.
  • - The studies highlight the potential of using CRISPR/Cas to reduce allergenic proteins in milk, aiming to improve the nutritional value and safety of buffalo milk for consumers.
  • - Both articles from 2024, one being an original study and the other a correction, emphasize the novelty of this research as previous CRISPR applications in dairy animals had not included buffaloes for any milk trait editing.
