Transgenic Animals Notes Pdf. Transgenic animals transgenic animals are animals that have been cloned. Animals that have had their dna manipulated to possess and express an extra (foreign) gene are known as transgenic animals.transgenic rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, cows and fish have been produced, although over 95 percent of all existing transgenic animals are mice.

Lecture notes (1) name download download size; Abstract transgenic animals are extensively used to study in vivo gene function as well as to model human diseases. By, damaris benny daniel ii msc.

The production of transgenic animals has focused mainly on producing models (e.g., the mouse) for basic and medical research.

Transgenic animals can be used to produce valuable products. Transgenic animals transgenic animals are animals that have been cloned. These animals should eventually prove to be valuable sources of proteins for human therapy. The main principle in the production of transgenic animals is the introduction of a foreign gene or genes into an animal (the inserted genes are called transgenes).the foreign genes must be transmitted through the germ line, so that every cell, including germ cells, of the animal contains the same modified genetic material 18.
