Key takeaway This technique involves editing genes to remove a key protein from the dogs' saliva and hair.
In Detroit , residents may be interested in a new development related to dog allergies. A company has used a specific technique to create dogs that do not trigger allergic reactions. This technique involves editing genes to remove a key protein from the dogs' saliva and hair.
The result is dogs that people with allergies can interact with. One such dog is a beagle that has been tested with a person who previously had allergic reactions to dogs. Further details about this process and its potential applications are available from the source.
