An animal in which the natural genetic material has been altered by the insertion of exogenous DNA or the deletion of endogenous DNA.
An animal deliberately produced to carry a gene from another animal.
Genetically engineered animal or offspring of genetically engineered animals. The transgenic animal usually contains material from at lease one unrelated organism, such as from a virus, plant, or other animal.
an animal into which genetic material from another organism has been transferred, the transferred and incorporated new animal genes then being expressed with the resultant production of specific proteins
an animal that has a modified gene inserted into its DNA
An animal into which foreign DNA has been transferred.
An animal into whose genome foreign DNA (e.g., a candidate gene) has been introduced to study the function of that DNA.
Transgenic animals are animals produced with externally introduced genes. Transgenic animals can be used in many fields and as models to test the effect of certain genes on health. They can be used to produce "enhanced" versions of an animal.
