The first genetically modified animal was a mouse created in 1974 by Rudolf Jaenisch. In 1976, the technology was commercialised, with the advent of genetically modified bacteria that produced somatostatin, followed by insulin in 1978. In 1983, an antibiotic resistant gene was inserted into tobacco, leading to the first genetically engineered ...
Although the fish were originally created and patented for scientific research at the National University of Singapore, a Texas company, Yorktown Technologies, obtained the rights to market the fish as pets. [15] They became the first genetically modified animal to become publicly available as a pet when introduced for commercial in 2003. [16]
Crop hybridization most likely first occurred when humans began growing genetically distinct individuals of related species in close proximity. [2]: 32 Some plants were able to be propagated by vegetative cloning. [2]: 31 Genetic inheritance was first discovered by Gregor Mendel in 1865, following experiments crossing peas. [3]
The first genetically modified animal to be commercialised was the GloFish, a Zebra fish with a fluorescent gene added that allows it to glow in the dark under ultraviolet light. [31] It was released to the US market in 2003. [32] The first genetically modified animal to be approved for food use was AquAdvantage salmon in 2015. [33]

This marks the first time that the CRISPR technique has been employed on an embryonic human genome. The CRISPR/Cas9 method utilizes a complex enzyme (aka a set of "genetic scissors") to snip out ...
And in experiments with genetically modified mice — a process that took roughly four years — tinkering with Alu insertions in the rodents’ TBXT genes resulted in variable tail lengths.
] The first successful xenogeneic heart transplant, from a genetically modified pig to a human patient, is reported. [ 249 ] [ 250 ] 0 Microbiologists demonstrate an individually adjusted phage-antibiotic combination as an antimicrobial resistance treatment, [ 251 ] [ 252 ] calling for scaling up the research [ 253 ] and further development of ...
