To summarize:
The uses of transgenic bacteria, plants and animals.
Introduction:
The uses of transgenic bacteria include the expression of the foreign gene inserted inside the plasmid of the bacteria which has industrial significance like insulin, human growth factor, tissue plasminogen activator, and hepatitis vaccine. The uses and applications of transgenic plants include their resistance against the invading pathogenic insects.
The yield of crops is increased by injecting the plants, with desired gene having specific characteristics and then crossing this plant with several other plants having varied genetic background. The uses and applications of transgenic animals include the use of animal models in research to cure diseases, generation of high yielding varieties of animals like cow, pigs and sheep with high yielding wool.
