What are the advantages and disadvantages of transgenic
animals for neuroscientific studies?
Answer Posted / aishwarya
the advantages are
• in medical research, transgenic animals are used to
identify the functions of specific factors in complex
homeostatic systems through over- or under-expression of a
modified gene (the inserted transgene);
• in toxicology: as responsive test animals (detection of
toxicants);
• in mammalian developmental genetics;
• in molecular biology, the analysis of the regulation of
gene expression makes use of the evaluation of a specific
genetic change at the level of the whole animal;
• in the pharmaceutical industry, targeted production of
pharmaceutical proteins, drug production and product
efficacy testing;
• in biotechnology: as producers of specific proteins;
