Transgenic animals have been produced in a variety of species Table 1.

How Bt Cotton Was Developed About ten years ago Monsanto scientists inserted a toxin gene from the bacterium called Bt which is the nickname for Bacillus thuringiensis into cotton plants to create a caterpillar-resistant variety. Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models. The transgenic plants thus produced show expression of foreign genes resulting in a higher level of herbicide tolerance.

Applications Of Transgenic Animals. This project details transgenic animal technology applications ethics and legalities as an example of technologys impact on society. 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.

History MODE OF ACTION MORE INFO REFERENCES TRANSGENIC PLANTS - BT COTTON. The production of transgenic animals has focused mainly on producing models eg the mouse for basic and medical research. Then at more than a year of age during the spring of 1985 the founder and his first-generation progeny began to develop skin abnormalities and then protuberant tumors later shown to.

In general transgenic animals are used to address three fundamentally distinct topics. These include reproductive science genetics and molecular biology and micromanipulation and microscopy equipment. The PowerPoint PPT presentation.

Transgenic Animals - Technology and applications. 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. After injecting the DNA the embryo is implanted into the uterus of receptive females.
