Overview

Transgenic animals are animals whose genomes have been modified using gene manipulation technology. By introducing new genes, scientists are able to create animals with specific characteristics, such as resistance to certain diseases, higher production of certain proteins, or improved muscle growth. Transgenic animals have numerous potential applications in medical, agricultural, and other fields. For instance, transgenic animals can be used to produce therapeutic proteins or to study the pathogenesis of human diseases. Additionally, transgenic animals are being used for food production, in particular through the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMO). The potential benefits of transgenic animals include faster growth, improved nutritional value, disease resistance, and increased production of milk or eggs. Thus, transgenic animals can contribute to the advancement of science, medicine, and food production in many ways.
