An organism containing a gene from another species.
Helpful?           0
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. See DNA.

an organism that contains genes from other organisms
Helpful?           0
An organism created by genetic engineering, in which one or more foreign genes have been incorporated into its genome.
Helpful?           0
An organism resulting from the insertion of genetic material from another organism using recombinant DNA techniques.
Helpful?           0
This describes an organism which, through genetic modification, has a heritable foreign gene (known as a transgene). e.g. transgene pig.
Helpful?           0
One into which foreign DNA has been experimentally transferred.
Helpful?           0
A plant, animal, or bacteria that has been genetically modified to contain a gene from a different species.
Helpful?           0
An organism formed by the insertion of foreign genetic material into the germ line cells of organisms. Recombinant DNA techniques are commonly used to produce transgenic organisms.
Helpful?           0
A plant, seed or animal into which has been inserted genetic material from an unrelated plant, seed or animal, often across species boundaries.
Helpful?           0
One into which a cloned genetic material has been experimentally transferred, a subset of these foreign gene express themselves in their offspring.
Helpful?           0
an organism whose genome has been altered by the incorporation of foreign, or exogenous DNA.
Helpful?           0
One whose genome has been modified by externally applied new DNA.
Helpful?           0
An organism into which the genes of other species have been engineered.
Helpful?           0
A transgenic organism is one whose genome has been subject to artificial modification. A transgenic organism may result when foreign DNA is inserted into the nucleus of a fertilized embryo. Bacterial transformation is another example of a process that leads to a transgenic organism.
