Transgenesis is a biotechnological process that involves the introduction of foreign genetic material (transgenes) into a living organism, resulting in the creation of a transgenic organism. This ...

Studies of the domestic cat have contributed to many scientific advances, including the present understanding of the mammalian cerebral cortex. A practical capability for cat transgenesis is needed to ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have demonstrated the potential of a new strategy for genetic modification of large animals. The method employs a harmless ...

This book aims to help experimenters to generate, breed and use transgenic animals essentially for research purposes and it is divided into 15 chapters. The first chapter is a general review of the ...

A new strategy for genetic modification of large animals by employing a virus that transfers genetic modifications to male reproductive cells, which passes naturally to offspring has been developed.

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have found that the activity of a single gene is a powerful predictor of whether newly cloned mammalian embryos will survive and thrive, but the gene’s ...

CRISPR-Cas technology has radically changed how transgenic models are created. Through CRISPR approaches, researchers have pioneered how to create complex animal models, including long cassette ...

BOSTON, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Scientists have found further evidence that cloned animals tend to harbor genetic defects that will disrupt their development and lead to abnormalities, strengthening the ...

PHILADELPHIA -- Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have found that the activity of a single gene is a powerful predictor of whether newly cloned mammalian embryos will survive and thrive, ...
