Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have successfully used a retrovirus to modify genes in spermatogonial stem cells in a mouse – the first instance, in any ...

The Animal Physiology Core (APC) provides for diabetes related phenotyping in small animal models. Services offered include the assessment of body composition, energy balance, glucose homeostasis, and ...

Transgenesis is a biotechnological process that involves the introduction of foreign genetic material (transgenes) into a living organism, resulting in the creation of a transgenic organism. This ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

Consider the sea urchin. Specifically, the painted urchin: Lytechinus pictus, a prickly Ping-Pong ball from the eastern Pacific Ocean. The species is a smaller and shorter-spined cousin of the purple ...

Scientists have announced the creation of the first genetically modified mammals developed using zinc finger nuclease technology. Scientists from The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Sangamo ...

In late 2010, PharmAthene closed the site where it had made the recombinant enzyme Protexia in the milk of transgenic animals. Government support for the nerve agent countermeasure had waned because ...

The times they are a-changin' for GEM and the facilities that maintain them. Core facilities are expanding beyond their original conception as producers of transgenic mice to encompass a wide range of ...

The Institute for Behavioral Genetics has the world's most complete collection of mouse strains that have been engineered to express mutations in nicotinic cholinergic receptor (nAChR) subunit genes.
