Ornithocene is developing the foundational platform for avian germline genome engineering, enabling scalable and heritable genetic improvements across conservation, agriculture, and biosecurity.
Ornithocene creates the tools and systems that make avian genetics programmable. By combining germline-competent cell platforms, precise genome editing, and integrated breeding infrastructure, we enable durable genetic improvements introduced once and propagated reliably across bird populations. Our approach operates upstream of traditional breeding and downstream interventions, supporting scalable applications from biodiversity preservation to next-generation poultry production.
