Japan identifies susceptibility to bird flu in chickens through genetic analysis

Japanese researchers have recently developed a gene analysis technology to identify whether chickens are susceptible to bird flu. This new technology will help control the spread of bird flu among chickens. According to reports, the researcher of the Japan Institute of Agricultural Biological Resources and Prof. Watanabe Watanabe of Hokkaido University and others under the funding of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology studied chicken's "Mx" gene and found that the base pair of this gene has 10 There are subtle differences. Researchers have found that chickens can be divided into two types that are susceptible to infection and not susceptible to bird flu, depending on the base pairing of the gene. If genetic tests are conducted to raise chickens that are not susceptible to bird flu, then the further spread of bird flu can be controlled, thereby reducing the risk of bird flu mutating into a new type of influenza among humans. The next step of the research team is to provide this genetic analysis service through a subsidiary of the Japan Institute of Agricultural Bioresources.
