Transgenic Animals Examples Ppt

Transgenic invertebrate species include some.

Transgenic animals examples ppt. Examples of Transgenic Animals. In the interest of educating the public about transgenic animals and determining their effect on society the methods of creating transgenic animals is discussed. Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny.

Species transgenic animals examples. Sheep goats pigs cows rabbits rats mice fish insects parasites and even humans have previously been used in this modification process. Genetically modified salmon was the first transgenic animal for food.

The animal production industry is gradually reaching towards revolution due to the development of genetic map knowledge of expression of genes and techniques for large propagation. Recombinant DNA methodology is used to construct the gene that is intended to express desirable qualities during the growth and development of the recipient animal. For example Japanese medaka Oryzias latipes and zebrafish Barchydanio rerio have short life cycles 3 months from.

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. In this the udder cells from a 6-year-old Finn Dorset white sheep were injected into an unfertilized egg from a Scottish Blackface ewe which had its nucleus removed. A transgenic animal is animal whose chromosomes have been changed to carry the.

A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome. 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. 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.

Transgenic animals are used as tools in research and for the production of recombinant proteins The main applications of transgenic animals are described as followsStudying gene function. Examples of Transgenic Animals. The major types of transgenic animals are listed with examples of each.
