In a breakthrough for dog allergy sufferers, scientists have used gene editing to produce hypoallergenic beagles. A geneticist, who previously couldn't pet dogs without sneezing, can now interact with one of these beagles without allergic reactions. The gene editing technique used is called CRISPR, a Nobel Prize-winning method.

This technique has been used to create two beagles, one of which is named Bailey. Further details on this development, including the long-term health effects of the gene editing, are available from the source, with scientists noting that it will take years before such dogs are widely available.
