Study Notes

Transgenic Animals

Transgenic animals are designed to produce therapeutic proteins by introducing genes from other sources.
These animals can produce therapeutic proteins like insulin in their milk.
This method utilizes the natural protein production capabilities of animals for human benefit.

Gene Knockout

Gene knockout involves deactivating a specific gene in an animal to observe its effects on functions.
Disrupting a gene provides insight into its function and its role in the organism.
Research on rats and mice benefit human understanding of gene function due to similarities between mammals.
Students can learn about gene function by proposing a gene for knockout in mice and explaining their rationale.
