Recent Trends and Advancements in Transgenesis and Transgenic Technology
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.

Transgenic Animals: Methods and Applications
Abstract: Transgenic animals are those animals whose genetic makeup is altered by ingesting foreign genes into the genes of that animal in order to produce enhanced product. The process of inserting the gene of the desire to express that gene in the animal and then in its offspring by using recombinant DNA technology is termed as transgenesis. With this advancement it has become easier to use the process of transgenesis for …

Animal Biotechnology: Finding a Balance Between New Ideas and Morality
Abstract: Animal biotechnology has become a revolutionary subject that combines genetics, farming, and medicine. It offers new ways to solve global problems like food security, disease management, and drug manufacturing. Scientists have used genetic engineering, cloning, transgenesis, and genome editing to make livestock more productive, generate animals that are immune to disease, and make useful scientific models. Transgenic animals are also being utilized more to make therapeutic proteins and help with …

Spermmediated gene transfer revisited: optimizing delivery, integration, and germline transmissionin large animal models
Abstract: Spermmediated gene transfer (SMGT) exploits the natural role of spermatozoa as DNA vectors to deliver exogenous genetic material to oocytes, potentially enabling economical production of transgenic large animals without complex embryo micromanipulation (1). Early proofofconcept studies established that mammalian sperm can bind, internalize, and protect exogenous DNA, leading to integration, expression, and germline transmission in various species, including pigs (24). Subsequent mechanistic work has challenged the traditional view of sperm …

Gene Editing: Rewriting the Life and Consequences
Abstract: ABSTRACTGene editing is the rational, precise and candid modification of DNA sequences or genes in living cells and organisms, literally for anything and everything possible. Its manifestation ranging from designing disease resistant crops or therapeutic correction of defective genes responsible for myriad of debilitating diseases in human beings to reprogramming of organisms that can produce new sophisticated and potent biologicals. The possible implication of gene editing is wide ranging and …
