Transgenic Plants And Animals Examples

This chapter aims to discuss genetically modified animals their potential to explicate biological processes related to pharmacological research and their functional genomics.

Transgenic plants and animals examples. Mice however are the most popularly tested animals in genetic modification studies. Following are the examples of transgenic animals. Some important examples of transgenic animals are as follows.

So for example you can make a transgenic by having a piece of DNA that you clone in a laboratory and inject it into a fertilized egg of a mouse embryo for example then that becomes integrated into the chromosome. Normal mice cannot be infected with polio virus. Transgenic animals include disease models designed to aid our understanding of human.

The plants which are genetically engineered to carry desirable traits like disease resistance insect. And then when that mouse is born it can transmit that extra piece of DNA to its offspring. History 1982 1st transgenic plant produced which is an antibiotic resistance tobacco plant.

Bt cotton was adopted for mass cultivation in India in year 2002. 1994 1st genetically modified crop approved for sale in US. Transgenic plants and animals Transgenic plants are plants that have been genetically engineered a breeding approach that uses recombinant DNA techniques to create plants with new characteristics.

Other viral resistant transgenic plants are a Potato virus resistant potato plants b RSV resistant rice c YMV resistant black gram and d YMV resistant green gram etc. There is clearly a benefit to farmers if transgenic plants are developing a. Sheep goats pigs cows rabbits rats mice fish insects parasites and even humans have previously been used in this modification process.

Examples of transgenic animals. Explore the ethics of. Gene transfers have been successful in various fish such as common carp rainbow trout Atlantic salmon catfish goldfish zebra-fish etc.
