History of transgenic animals ppt. These include reproductive science genetics and molecular biology and micromanipulation and microscopy equipment. This project details transgenic animal technology applications ethics and legalities as an example of technologys impact on society. When addressing the history of transgenic mouse technology it is apparent that a number of basic science research areas laid the groundwork for success.
Transgenic vertebrates have been developed in species with both scientific and commercial value including fish amphibians birds and mammals. Transgenic invertebrate species include some. Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models.
Transgenic Animals - Technology and applications. The gene introduces by transfection is called transgene. The transgenic technology is one of an important tool to meet the future challenges for increased animals production.
Sheep goats pigs cows rabbits rats mice fish insects parasites and even humans have previously been used in this modification process. Transgenic is where a gene or a part of a gene from one individual is transferred to another. The first genetically modified or ganism was a bacterium.
The best example is the work of Shah and his co-workers. In terms of commercially important livestock species work has revolved around specialized non-agricultural purposes such as pharmaceutical production and xenotransplantation and to a lesser extent applied agricultural purposes to improve animal. Theoretically all living beings can be genetically manipulated.
