Maintenance Of Transgenic Animals Ppt. A genetically modified organism (gmo) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics, generally known as recombinant dna technology. These stem cells are capable of regenerating tissue after injury.
The cells that retain their proliferative capacity throughout life are regarded as stem cells. Transgenic animals, livestock, genome sequence information, vectors number of tables: Transgenic animals have the potential of agricultural applications like improved growth rate and carcass composition, improved resistance to disease, increased milk yield, improved wool production.
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.
Transgenic animals have at least one transferred gene whose site of integration and number of integrated copies might or might not have been controlled. The cells that retain their proliferative capacity throughout life are regarded as stem cells. In general, these animals are produced so that the genetic alterations are stably transmitted to the progeny through the germ line. As such the use of
