Genetically Engineered Animals
Genetically engineered animals (GEAs) are animals whose genomes have been modified using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques involve introducing, deleting, or altering pieces of DNA in the animal's genome. This allows for the introduction of new traits that may not be naturally found in the organism. Benefits of GEAs include increased productivity, improved disease resistance, and increased nutrient content in animal products. GEAs are commonly used for research, food production, and biopharmaceutical applications. With careful regulation and implementation, GEAs have the potential to revolutionize animal production and improve human health.
