At the time of the first Transgenic Animal Research Conference, the lack of knowledge about
promoter, enhancer and coding regions of genes of interest greatly hampered our efforts to …

The notion of directly introducing new genes or otherwise manipulating the genotype of an

The last quarter-of-a-century has witnessed a rapid advance in the application of genetic
engineering techniques to increasingly complex organisms, from bacteria and yeasts to …

Transgenic livestock came into existence in 1985 with the production of the first transgenic
pigs and sheep (Hammer et al., 1985). Since then, various technologies have been …

Gene transfer to generate transgenic animals is used more and more to study gene
regulation and function. It is also an essential tool to prepare pharmaceuticals or pig organs …
