Transgenic methodologies continue to evolve and have dramatically influenced a cross section of disciplines. They are recognized as instrumental in expanding our understanding of gene expression, regulation and function. This book covers the aspects of gene transfer in animals-from molecular methods to whole animal considerations across a host of species. The book starts with an introduction of what are transgenic animals. Chapter 1 methods and applications related to transgenic application.
