Transgenic animals are those that have been genetically modified. The gene introduces by transfection is called transgene.

London docks was the point of entry of the plague into England. Sheep goats pigs cows rabbits rats mice fish insects parasites and even humans have previously been used in this modification process. The transgenic animals are created because of the benefits they provide to the man.

Transgenic invertebrate species include some. DEFINITION An individual in which a gene or genes were introduced by one or other technique of transfection to the genome of a animal is called transgenic animals. Introduction 3 Animal models pivotal role in delineating etiology progression of various diseases as well as to screen develop new therapeutic strategies.

The PowerPoint PPT presentation. Transgenic models are more precise in comparison to traditional animal models for example the oncomouse with its increased susceptibility to tumor development enables results for carcinogenicity studies to be obtained within a shorter time-frame thus reducing the course of tumor development in experimentally affected animals. OR A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome.

International TG livestock examples. Animal Improvement Group Members. A transgenic animal has been genetically engineered to incorporate a foreign gene.

In general transgenic animals are used to address three fundamentally distinct topics. Theoretically all living beings can be genetically manipulated. Transgenic animals have been produced in a variety of species Table 1.
