When was the first transgenic animal produced?
Answered
The first transgenic animal, a mouse, was produced in 1980 by researchers who successfully introduced a foreign gene into its genome. This pioneering work laid the foundation for the field of transgenic technology and demonstrated the feasibility of genetic modification in mammals. The development of transgenic mice has since been a cornerstone of genetic research, providing valuable models for studying gene function, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic approaches.
