Description
Transgenesis involves injecting foreign genetic material into an animal's own genetic material to either produce specific, economically significant traits or restructure the animal's biochemical systems so that it produces certain economically attractive molecules such as recombinant proteins or pharmaceuticals. This book details the techniques necessary for the production of transgenic animals and the industrial application of these techniques.
