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. The plants which are genetically engineered to carry desirable traits like disease resistance insect. Gene transfers have been successful in various fish such as common carp rainbow trout Atlantic salmon catfish goldfish zebra-fish etc. They lack the cell-surface molecule that in humans serves as the receptor for the virus.

1994 1st genetically modified crop approved for sale in US. There are a history of animal cloning studies that have been conducted on different animals. Transgenic crops eg cotton rice maize potato tomato brinjal cauliflowers cabbage etc The most notable example is Bt cotton which contain cryAc gene that is resistant to a notorious insect pest bollworm Helicoperpa armigera.

The plants which are genetically engineered to carry desirable traits like disease resistance insect resistance herbicide resistance are called as transgenic plants. Examples of transgenic animals. 1994 first mammal cloned from a somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Thro 2004 emphasized that there are conflicting views about the idea. Examples of Transgenic Animals. The best example is the work of Shah and his co-workers.

These animals should eventually prove to. For example Bt cotton contains a gene from the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis and is thus considered to be a transgenic plant. In 1952 cloning of frogs through nuclear transfer.

Mice however are the most popularly tested animals in genetic modification studies. Following are the examples of transgenic animals. Sheep goats pigs cows rabbits rats mice fish insects parasites and even humans have previously been used in this modification process.
