Transgenic Rats
? Transgenic rats are a type of rat that has been genetically modified to contain gene sequences from other species. These unique animals are important model organisms in biomedicine, used to study various diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. They are also used in drug development and in the production of important proteins for research. Transgenic rats are also used as laboratory test subjects for food safety, environmental hazards, and pharmaceuticals. As these animals are able to reproduce quickly and in large amounts, they provide an invaluable resource for scientists to better understand our world.
