Transgenic Animal Technology Ppt

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 animal technology ppt. One of the most important aspects between fish and other terrestrial animals for cultivation and genetic improvement is that usually fishes have higher levels of genetic variation and hence more scopes for selection than most mammals or birds. Transgenic animals or plants are those that have. The transgenic technology is one of an important tool to meet the future challenges for increased animals production.

- PowerPoint PPT Presentation. The foreign gene is constructed using recombinant DNA methodology. 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.
