transgenic animals , its production and applicationMonishaKCReddy
Process of introducing a foreign or exogenous DNA into an animal genome is called as Transgenesis
Transgenesis is the process of introducing an exogenous gene called a transgene into a living organism so that the organism will exhibit a new property and transmit that property to its offspring.
Retroviruses used as vectors to transfer genetic material into the host cell
Retroviruses can be used for the transfer of foreign genes into animal genomes.
Embryonic stem cell-mediated gene transfer.
Involves prior insertion of the desired DNA sequence by homologous recombination into an in vitro culture of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Incorporated into an embryo at the blastocyst stage of development.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
5. z Animal Models
• Mice
• Rats
• Zebrafish (3 month generation time,
200 progeny, complete embryogenesis
in 120 hrs)
• Dogs (lungs and cardiovascular
system)
• Cats
• Pigs (PPL Therapeutics- delete a gene
which causes hyperacute rejection of
pig-to-human organ transplantation)
• Primates (HIV and AIDs research,
geriatric research)
Animals in Research
6. z Alternatives to Animal Models
• Cell culture devices
• Researchers use cell cultures and computer-generated
models whenever possible, but this doesn’t work for looking
at an organ or entire animal
Animals in Research
7. z Regulation of Animal Research
• The “Three Rs”
• Reduce the number of higher species (cats, dogs,
primates) used
• Replace animals with alternative models whenever
possible
• Refine tests and experiments to ensure the most
humane conditions possible
Animals in Research
8. z Veterinary Medicine as Clinical Trials
• Treatments for humans may also be useful for
treatments with animals (e.g. the BRCA1 gene found
in 65% of human breast tumors is similar to the
BRCA1 gene in dogs)
• Hyperthermia + radiation = more effective at killing
tumors
• Stimulation of cytokines for curing skin cancers
Animals in Research
9. z Bioengineering Mosquitoes to Prevent Malaria
• Cloned in a gene that prevents the parasite from
traversing the midgut; blocking the continuation of its
life cycle
• Developed an antibody that prevents the parasite
from entering the mosquito’s salivary gland
Animals in Research
10. Clones
z Cloning
• Creating Dolly
• Limits to Cloning: The donor cell must
come from a living organism
• An organism is also shaped by its
environment
• The success rate for cloning is very low
• Clones may be old before their time
• The future of cloning: preservation of
endangered animals, studying the effect
of drugs etc on duplicates, improve
agricultural production
12. z Improving Agricultural Products
with Transgenics
• Faster growth rates or leaner
growth patterns (improve the
product), more product
• Increase nutritional content-
lactoferrin
• Turning the animals into efficient
grazers
• Transfer antimicrobial genes to
farm animals
Transgenic Animals
13. z Transgenic Animals as Bioreactors
• Biosteel otherwise known as spider silk, cloned into
goat milk (“silkmilk” goats)
• Goats reproduce faster than cows and are cheaper than
cows
• Hens also make good bioreactors in that they are cheap
and a lot of eggs are produced at one time
Transgenic Animals
14. z Knock-outs: A Special Case of
Transgenesis
• A specific gene is disrupted or
removed such that it is not expressed
• Procedure: DNA is modified, it is
added to embryonic stem cells,
where it undergoes homologous
recombination. The modified ES cells
are then introduced into normal
embryo. The embryo is implanted in
an incubator mother. The offspring is
a chimera. It may take several
generations of crossbreeding are
required to produce animals that are
complete knock-outs.
• Breast cancer mouse

16. Producing Human Antibodies in
Animals
z Production of Monoclonal
antibodies (Mabs)
• Used to treat cancer, heart
disease, and transplant
rejection
• HUMANIZED monoclonal
antibodies were developed
to prevent the human anti-
mouse antibody (HAMA)
response
