Transgenic Animals: Benefits, Challenges, and the Future of Biomedical Research

Introduction

Transgenic animals, organisms with a modified genome, have emerged as powerful tools in biomedical research, offering unique insights into human health and disease.

Transgenic animals are created by introducing foreign genetic material into the genome of an animal, typically through microinjection or viral transduction. This genetic modification allows researchers to study the effects of specific genes on various biological processes, disease development, and potential therapeutic interventions.
