Transgenic Animals Applications Ppt

Organisms containing integrated sequences of cloned DNA transgenes transferred using techniques of genetic engineering to include those of gene transfer and gene substitution are called transgenic animals.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models. The creations of many transgenic animals were subsequently reported in 1985s 6. One of the most important aspects between fish and other terrestrial animals for cultivation and genetic improvement is that usually fishes have higher levels of genetic variation and hence more scopes for selection than most mammals or birds.

Applications of Transgenic Animals in Biotechnology-. Using transgenic mice as test systems eg protein CFTR secretion. Ful in generating transgenic animals but may have applications as transient gene-expression systems 15.

Recombinant DNA technology is the ability to combine DNA molecules from different sources into the one molecule. Transgenic animals and their application in medicine Bagle TR 1 Kunkulol RR 2 Baig MS 3 More SY 4. The transgenic fish are being promoted as the first marketable transgenic animals for human consumption.

There are several methodologies employed in producing transgenic animals. 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. The first genetically modified organism was engineered in the year 1980.

Industry and medicine have taken advantage of these animals a lot. Selection of Fish Species. Transgenic animals ie engineered to carry genes from other species have the potential to improve human welfare.

Transgenic animals was started using sperm mediated gene transfer. Cohen and Herbert Boyer. By DAMARIS BENNY DANIEL II Msc.
