transgenic animals with desired traits
Transgenic pigs are genetically engineered to have desired traits. There are several methods used to create transgenic pigs, including microinjection of DNA into pig zygotes, retrovirus-mediated gene transfer, and somatic cell nuclear transfer. Transgenic pigs are studied as models for human diseases and could potentially be a source of organs for xenotransplantation. Key applications include using transgenic pigs to study cardiovascular diseases, wound healing, and as potential donors for heart transplants.
