An overview of Transgenic Animals and its Disease Resistant Variety

ZOOLOGY

Foreign DNA i.e DNA from organism having desired characteristic is incorporated into the DNA of the animal , this animal is called as transgenic animal. This is performed by recombinant DNA technology . The desired trait can be observed in the transgenic animal after its DNA is associated with foreign DNA , showing desirable qualities during growth and development. There are some processes to form transgenic animals .In order to survive from several diseases in animals and also human beings animals are modified genetically forming transgenic species so that they can be resistant from certain diseases. The disease models of transgenic animals are designed in order to study diseases of human or designed transformers for production of drugs in their milk that are life saving . There are several applications of disease resistant transgenic animals that are much helpful for the survival of animals and human from many complex diseases. In this study an overview of transgenic animals with their methods of production , their disease resistant varieties and applications of disease resistant transgenic animals are discussed.
