Transgenic animal model

Patent Pending Transgenic animals are used as experimental models to perform phenotypic and for testing in biomedical research.[46] Genetically modified (genetically engineered) animals are becoming more vital to the discovery and development of cures and treatments for many serious diseases. By altering the DNA or transferring DNA to an animal, we can develop certain proteins that may be used in medical treatment. Stable expressions of human proteins have been developed in many animals, including sheep, pigs, and rats.
