Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

Consider the sea urchin. Specifically, the painted urchin: Lytechinus pictus, a prickly Ping-Pong ball from the eastern Pacific Ocean. The species is a smaller and shorter-spined cousin of the purple ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has written to the leaders of 70 universities reminding them to comply with the agency’s regulations on research to create transgenic animals with desired traits.

Recent advances in the manipulation of the mouse genome have resulted in an increasingly large population of genetically engineered mice (GEM). This can be seen in the exponential growth of transgenic ...

The times they are a-changin' for GEM and the facilities that maintain them. Core facilities are expanding beyond their original conception as producers of transgenic mice to encompass a wide range of ...

Transgenesis is a biotechnological process that involves the introduction of foreign genetic material (transgenes) into a living organism, resulting in the creation of a transgenic organism. This ...
