Transgenic Animal - Mini Review

Acta Scientific Microbiology, 2022

The word Transgenic stands for one or more DNA sequences from another species have been introduced by artificial ways. Transgenic animals are used as biomedical models in laboratory research, like rodent species. Rodent species which are important tools for researching human disease. These transgenic animals easily understands gene function in case of any disease and helps to determine the disease. Transgenic animals helps to produce complex human proteins in very large quantities. Transgenic animals have foreign genes in their genome and for this reason they can show some special properties other than normal animals. These properties lead to discover new drugs, helps in gene therapy etc. In case of gene therapy as defected genes could not function, so healthy genes are inserted by the help of vectors in th human body. Other than this, transgenic animals help in xerotransplantation. Pig is the experimental animal in case of xerotransplantation. Transgenic animals also play important role in agricultural field. Amount of milk with good quality and healthy meat have increased and farmers get benefited due to transgenic animals. These genetically modified animals are disease resistant and used in industrial purposes also.
