- Many mouse transgenics have been created to serve as models for human genetic diseases.
- Less successful in other species, but goats have been created that secrete human factor VIII in their milk.
- Cheap treatment for bleeding disorders with little risk of disease transfer.
- Area of much future development.
- Injection of specific gene constructs into the newly fertilized oocyte, so that they become part of the dividing cell. Thus they are encorporated and expressed in the individual.
- Constructs may be from the same or different species as the oocyte.
