Lottie Peppers on 11 May 16Horn removal through gene editing is a win-win both for the animal and for the farmer, says Muir, who did not take part in this research.

"One could achieve the same results with natural breeding, but gene editing greatly speeds up the process, reducing the time it takes to accomplish the goal from centuries to years."
