  2. Genetically modified animal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_animal

    Genetically modified animals are animals that have been genetically modified for a variety of purposes including producing drugs, enhancing yields, increasing resistance to disease, etc. The vast majority of genetically modified animals are at the research stage while the number close to entering the market remains small.

  3. Genetically modified mammal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_mammal

    Genetically modified mammals are mammals that have been genetically engineered.They are an important category of genetically modified organisms.The majority of research involving genetically modified mammals involves mice with attempts to produce knockout animals in other mammalian species limited by the inability to derive and stably culture embryonic stem cells.

  4. Genetic engineering techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    Genetic engineering techniques allow the modification of animal and plant genomes. Techniques have been devised to insert, delete, and modify DNA at multiple levels, ranging from a specific base pair in a specific gene to entire genes. There are a number of steps that are followed before a genetically modified organism (GMO) is created.

  6. Modifications (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifications_(genetics)

    Genetic engineering is a type of intentional genetic modification, which uses biotechnology to alter an organism's genome. [ citation needed ] According to World Health Organization (WHO), genetically modified organisms are defined as "Organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a ...

  7. ATryn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATryn

    ATryn is the first medicine produced using genetically engineered animals. [3] GTC states that one genetically modified goat can produce the same amount of antithrombin in a year as 90,000 blood donations. [4] GTC chose goats for the process because they reproduce more rapidly than cattle and produce more protein than rabbits or mice. [5]

  8. Molecular breeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_breeding

    Molecular breeding is the application of molecular biology tools, often in plant breeding [1] [2] and animal breeding. [3] [4] In the broad sense, molecular breeding can be defined as the use of genetic manipulation performed at the level of DNA to improve traits of interest in plants and animals, and it may also include genetic engineering or gene manipulation, molecular marker-assisted ...
