Recent Trends and Advancements in Transgenesis and Transgenic Technology

Gaurav Khandelwal

Abstract


Transgenic technology is a novel procedure that was introduced in the year 1981. It involves the insertion as well as integration and expression of new/improved genes into the host organism’s genome. This technology has many benefits in animal biotechnology. This article is a brief review on this technology, the ethical issues concerning it as well as its applications in the field of animal biotechnology.

Keywords


microinjection, retrovirus, transgene, transgenesis
