Genetic manipulation is a multistep process that changes an organism's gene content. It involves adding, changing, or removing DNA from an animal's genetic material. Genetically modified animals, also known as transgenic organisms, are created through recombinant DNA technology. This technology involves combining DNA from different genomes or inserting foreign DNA into a genome. In transgenic animals, a foreign gene is permanently integrated into the animal's DNA. This gene is expressed and propagated across future generations. Transgenic animals are used as model organisms to study the...
