A transgenic animal is an organism that has had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into its genome using advanced genetic engineering techniques. This modification allows the animal to express new traits that are not naturally found in its species. Transgenic animals are used in various fields, including biomedical research, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, to study gene function, develop disease models, and produce proteins for therapeutic use.
