Transgenic (Biotechnology)

An organism that has been transformed with a foreign DNA sequence.

Transgenic (Genetics and Food)

is used to describe animals that have been genetically engineered to contain the genes from another species.

Transgenic (Genome)

An experimentally produced organism in which DNA has been artificially introduced and incorporated into the organism's germ line.
See also: cell, DNA, gene, nucleus, germ line

Transgenic (Huntingtons Disease)

An organism that has had DNA from another organism introduced into it. For example, if jellyfish DNA is introduced into a mouse, the mouse is then called a transgenic mouse. Transgenic animals are generated by introducing the outside DNA into the developing embryo and then implanting the embryo into a host mother until the animal is born.

Transgenic (Microbiology)

Creation of an individual in which genetic modification has occured in the germline tissues and may be transmitted to subsequent generations.

Transgenic (Science)

An experimentally produced organism in which DNA has been artificially introduced and incorporated into the organism’s germ line, usually by injecting the foreign DNA into the nucleus of a fertilized embryo
