Acceligen (AWA Member #5290) is a U.S.-based biotechnology company specializing in precision breeding to improve the health and sustainability of livestock. Although Wagyu is not specifically mentioned on their website, their membership in the AWA and focus on genetic improvement suggest potential involvement in the breed.

They use advanced technologies such as CRISPR and TALENs to introduce desirable traits—such as polled (hornless) genetics, heat tolerance, and disease resistance—into animals like cattle, pigs, and fish. Their mission is to enhance animal welfare, boost productivity, and reduce environmental impact.

Due to their genetic focus and AWA membership, they have been included in the list.
