Breeding approach to develop the multiple generations of edited pigs for evaluation of disease resistance, phenotypical characteristics, and meat composition and quality. Multiple edited E0 animals (CD163 ΔE7/+) from the same elite breeding line were crossed with unedited, wild-type animals (CD163 +/+) to produce the heterozygous (CD163 ΔE7/+) E1 generation. The segregating E2 population was created by interbreeding among E1 animals. Homozygous-edited (CD163 ΔE7/ΔE7) and null (CD163 +/+) animals in the E3 generation derived from crosses between homozygous-edited and null E2 animals, respectively.
