  • 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.
  • 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.
