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. Injected embryos are implanted into a foster mother.

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.
