Transgenic Animals Applications Ppt

Let us have a detailed look at the process importance and applications of transgenic animals.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. DNA Technology Biotechnology The use or alteration of cells or biological molecules for specific applications Transgenics Transgenic changed genes Recombinant DNA DNA from different species mixed together Natural or man-made Whole organisms or cells Possible because the genetic code is universal All life uses the same genetic code ATGC Amplifying DNA Need.

Methodology Retrovirus vector DNA microinjection Engineered embryonic stem cell Cre. The first genetically modified organism was a bacteria created in 1973 by Stanley N. Transgenic animals have given great benefit to the field of biotechnology especially the fields of agriculture.

The transgenic fish are being promoted as the first marketable transgenic animals for human consumption. Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models. Transgenesis is the process by which mixing up of genes takes place.

Selection of Fish Species. Several different fish spe-cies including channel catfish common carp goldfish Japanese medaka loach northern pike rainbow trout salmon tilapia walleye and zebrafish for review. 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.

356 have been used as experimental animals for production of transgenic fish. Transgenic animals produced with. 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.

These bacteria contained genetic information from a variety of different species. Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny. 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.
