Synopsis

In 1989 a number of scientists representing the leading groups of genetic engineers in universities, government agencies and industrial laboratories presented their most recent findings at the Second Symposium on Genetic Engineering of Animals. The papers contained in this volume represent "state of the art" technology in the production of transgenic animals ranging from mice to cattle. The emphasis is definitely on domestic animals including sheep, pigs, cattle and poultry, but a number of papers are primarily based on recent developments in mice and rabbits and one paper concerns the production of transgenic fish. This volume will be of great interest to anyone interested in producing animals with increased potential for growth, reproduction, lactation, and disease or stress resistance. Subjects covered include in-vitro fertilization, nuclear transplantation and embryo cloning and recloning, embryo stem-cell technology, embryo sexing, targeted gene insertions, promoters and the use of novel reporter genes.
