Transgenic Animals Applications Ppt

Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. Selection of Fish Species. By DAMARIS BENNY DANIEL II Msc. 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.

The first genetically modified organism was engineered in the year 1980. 1 Assistant Professor 2 Associate Professor Department of Pharmacology Pravara I. Industry and medicine have taken advantage of these animals a lot.

Let us have a detailed look at the process importance and applications of transgenic animals. 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. One of the most exciting prospects for the genetic manipulation of chickens is the potential development of an embryonic stem ES-cell system.

The creations of many transgenic animals were subsequently reported in 1985s 6. 11 These and chronic models for the evaluation of transgenic animals can express HIV-1 proteins. Transgenic farm animals are important in human medicine as a source of biologically active proteins as donors in xenotransplanta- tion and for a research in cell and gene therapy.

Transgenic animals was started using sperm mediated gene transfer. 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. We can say that medicine is one field which has took benefit of transgenic animals most.

356 have been used as experimental animals for production of transgenic fish. There are several methodologies employed in producing transgenic animals. The first genetically modified organism was a bacteria created in 1973 by Stanley N.
