Transgenic Animals
A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome. The foreign gene is constructed using recombinant DNA methodology.
Transgenic mouse
A mouse which carries experimentally introduced DNA in its genome. Linear DNA is injected into a fertilized embryo at the pro-nuclear stage and may be incorporated into the genome.

Definition of transgenic :
Organisms that have had foreign DNA stably integrated into their genome.
Transgenic
Transgenic means that one or more DNA sequences from another species have been introduced by artificial means.

Transgenic Mice
One of the approaches for determining the biological function of newly identified genes uses YAC transgenic mice.
transgenic
[L. trans, across + formare, to shape]
Having artificially altered genetic material.
Transgenic Plants
The only plasmid that plant cells take up is the Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid from the bacterium Agrobacterium. The plasmid transferred by this bacterium causes plants to form a gall.
Transgenic: Containing genes altered by insertion of DNA from an unrelated organism. Taking genes from one species and inserting them into another species to get that trait expressed in the offspring.
Transgenic Crops
The development of transgenic crops (genetically modified crops) might be an extremely important concept for the future. Malnutrition and disease are very common problems faced by people in less developed countries.
transgenic (adj.) - of an organism, having DNA artificially inserted into the genome.

Transgenic animal An animal (nearly always a mouse) into the genome of which a foreign gene has been introduced.
Transgenic. An organism in which a foreign DNA gene (a transgene) is incorporated into its genome early in de- velopment.
Transgenic
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. [Talking Glossary] ...

TRANSGENIC - An animal (usually a mouse) or plant into which a foreign gene has been introduced in the germ line. An example: transgenic mice expressing the human receptor for poliovirus are susceptible to human polioviruses.
Transgenic mouse: A mouse which carries experimentally introduced DNA. The procedure by which one makes a transgenic mouse involves the injection of DNA into a fertilized embryo at the pro-nuclear stage.
A transgenic construction inserted in a chromosome which is used to identify tissue-specific enhancers in the genome.
A transgenic animal simply has a trangene of interest within its genomic makeup. A cloned animal is developed through nuclear transfer, and typically has a common genetic profile with another animals.

TransgenicRefers to an organism which carries a stable copy of a gene originating from another species introduced by DNA technology.
Transgenic organism -- one into which a cloned genetic material has been experimentally transferred, a subset of these foreign gene express themselves in their offspring.
