Animal cloning by nuclear transfer: state-of-the-art and future perspectives.
Model organisms are essential to study the genetic basis of human diseases. Transgenic mammalian models, especially genetic knock-out mice have catalysed the progress in this area. To continue the advancement, further sophisticated and refined models are crucially needed to study the genetic basis and manifestations of numerous human diseases. Coinciding with the start of the new era of post-ge...
متن کاملBiotechnology and Animal Nutrition
To fulfill increased world food demand and to overcome the consequences related to natural and industrial changes, scientists have been trying to select and improve both feedstuff and livestock, genetically. Biotechnology, also involving chemical and physical techniques, is applied to nutrition to increase the abundance (availability) of feed and to improve the digestibility of nutrients in tho...
متن کاملBiotechnology and animal health.
The potential areas of impact for biotechnology on the control of infectious diseases and improved animal health are manifold. They include the identification of susceptible stock, tests for the rapid and early diagnosis of disease, an understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis and the development of safe and effective vaccines or prophylactics. The principal methodologies which will enabl...
متن کاملNuclear Techniques in Animal Production and Health
Terms such as isotopes and nuclear techniques often call to mind basic research of little or only minor practical importance for animal productivity and health. This is, however, not true. No other scientific tools have in our lifetime been of a significance equalling that of the isotopes in widening our insight into animal physiology and nutritional requirements. Last but not least, they have ...
متن کاملAssessing ethics and animal welfare in animal biotechnology for farm production.
This paper addresses the ethical issues involved in animal biotechnology. Considerable advances in this field have been made with transgenic fish, which may be the first real test case for regulatory bodies. Intrinsic concerns about animal biotechnology are often voiced in public debate, and the paper presents and critically discusses these issues. Even though these concerns may be hard to reco...
