Transgenic animals applications ppt. A transgenic animal has been genetically engineered to incorporate a foreign gene. Using transgenic mice as test systems eg protein CFTR secretion. The first genetically modified organism was a bacteria created in 1973 by Stanley N.

Transgenesis is the process by which mixing up of genes takes place. There are several methodologies employed in producing transgenic animals. 4 and in 1980s the transgenic mice is produced using the most popular microinjection technique 5.

Animal egg stage is also developed19 There are Since than many models have developed other models like beta receptor knockout mouse Rosenstiel et al gives summary of 32 transgenic uncoupling protein UCP1 knockout mouseacute murine HIVAN models developed. Let us have a detailed look at the process importance and applications of transgenic animals. The development of transgenic animals has been part of biotechnology research which has been expanding rapidly.

Methodology and Applications Transgenic mice. Transgenic Animals Synthetic modified or other foreign genes can be introduced into animals and plants and the resulting transgenic organisms can be used to study the function of the genes for example by insertional mutagenesis to produce novel products or to serve as animal models for studies of inherited human diseases. This would enable not only the addition of gene constructs but.

Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models. The creations of many transgenic animals were subsequently reported in 1985s 6. Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny.

DNA Technology Biotechnology The use or alteration of cells or biological molecules for specific applications Transgenics Transgenic changed genes Recombinant DNA DNA from different species mixed together Natural or man-made Whole organisms or cells Possible because the genetic code is universal All life uses the same genetic code ATGC Amplifying DNA Need. Organisms containing integrated sequences of cloned DNA transgenes transferred using techniques of genetic engineering to include those of gene transfer and gene substitution are called transgenic animals. This project details transgenic animal technology applications ethics and legalities as an example of technologys impact on society.
