Transgenic Animal Technology Ppt

Transgenic technology led to the development of fish and livestock with an altered genetic profile that enabled them to grow faster salmon to reduce waste pig or fight diseases prion-free cows resistant to bovine spongiform encephalopathy known as mad cow disease.

Transgenic animal technology ppt. Foreign genes are inserted into the germ line of the animal so it can be transmitted to the progeny. This technology was extended into animals shortly after 1974 with the first transgenic animal a mouse containing SV-40 viral DNA fragments Jaenisch and Mintz 1974. Half of animals with the coat color indicative of the ES cell line will be heterozygous for the targeted mutation and the other.

Transgenesis in Mice Retroviral Vector Efficient mechanism of transgene integration Transfer of genes 8 kb possible random insertion of the transgene. Recombinant DNA technology is the ability to combine DNA molecules from different sources into the one molecule. Transgenic technology provides a method to rapidly introduce new genes into animals without cross breeding.

The foreign gene is constructed using recombinant DNA methodology. Transgenic Animal Transgenic animals are animals that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome. PowerPoint PPT presentation.

Transgenic animals or plants are those that have. Transgenic animals lecture 35. The main principle in the production of transgenic animals is the introduction of a foreign gene or genes into an animal the inserted genes are called transgenesthe foreign genes must be transmitted through the germ line so that every cell including germ cells of the.

Transgenic animals can be used as disease models transpharmers xenotransplanters food sources and other biological models. Gene transfer technologies leading t o transgenic animals KH. Transgenesis is the process by which mixing up of genes takes place.

GENE TARGETING AND TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGIES LAURENCE H. International TG livestock examples. This project details transgenic animal technology applications ethics and legalities as an example of technologys impact on society.
