Transgenic Animals Applications Ppt

Transgenic farm animals are important in human medicine as a source of biologically active proteins as donors in xenotransplanta- tion and for a research in cell and gene therapy.

Transgenic animals applications ppt. Methodology and Applications - Chapter 21-Transgenic Animals. The transgenic fish are being promoted as the first marketable transgenic animals for human consumption. Transgenic animals ie engineered to carry genes from other species have the potential to improve human welfare.

The first genetically modified organism was a bacteria created in 1973 by Stanley N. 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.

Methodology and Applications Transgenic mice. Applications Transgenic models for Alzheimer disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Huntington disease arthritis muscular dystrophy tumorigenesis hypertension neurodegenerative disorders endocrinological dysfunction coronary disease etc. Cohen and Herbert Boyer.

11 These and chronic models for the evaluation of transgenic animals can express HIV-1 proteins. A genetically modified organism GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as recombinant DNA technology. One of the most exciting prospects for the genetic manipulation of chickens is the potential development of an embryonic stem ES-cell system.

Transgenic animals are used as tools in research and for the production of recombinant proteins The main applications of transgenic animals are described as followsStudying gene function. Typical agricultural application include improved carcass composition lactation. Thus the abilities or the phenotype of the organism or the.

A transgenic animal has been genetically engineered to incorporate a foreign gene. We can say that medicine is one field which has took benefit of transgenic animals most. Transgenic animals have given great benefit to the field of biotechnology especially the fields of agriculture.
