History of transgenic animals ppt. The PowerPoint PPT presentation. When addressing the history of transgenic mouse technology it is apparent that a number of basic science research areas laid the groundwork for success. OR A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome.

This project details transgenic animal technology applications ethics and legalities as an example of technologys impact on society. Bubonic Plague in History In the late Middle Ages 13401400 Europe experienced the most deadly disease outbreak in history when the Black Death the infamous pandemic of bubonic plague hit in 1348 killing a third of the human population PPT-089-01. These animals are widely used to understand gene function and protein function.

Transgenic is where a gene or a part of a gene from one individual is transferred to another. International TG livestock examples. In general transgenic animals are used to address three fundamentally distinct topics.

The emergence of transgenic technology has widened the scope of development in case of farm animals and the advent of new molecular biology techniques has paved way by giving a new dimension to animal breeding. 1 to examine the physiologic consequence of a gain-of-function approach in which one overexpresses or expresses ectopically a protein to assess its physiologic and biologic function at the cellular or subcellular organ or whole-animal level this form of experimentation is the most common. History MODE OF ACTION MORE INFO REFERENCES TRANSGENIC PLANTS - BT COTTON.

How Bt Cotton Was Developed About ten years ago Monsanto scientists inserted a toxin gene from the bacterium called Bt which is the nickname for Bacillus thuringiensis into cotton plants to create a caterpillar-resistant variety. In terms of commercially important livestock species work has revolved around specialized non-agricultural purposes such as pharmaceutical production and xenotransplantation and to a lesser extent applied agricultural purposes to improve animal. A transgenic animal has been genetically engineered to incorporate a foreign gene.

The transgenic animals are created because of the benefits they provide to the man. Transgenic vertebrates have been developed in species with both scientific and commercial value including fish amphibians birds and mammals. Transgenic Animals - Technology and applications.
