A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book provides background knowledge in one of the most controversial and exciting areas in science today: the genetic engineering of animals.

All students and professionals involved in biotechnology – whether they are chemists, biologists or engineers – should be aware of the power behind this technique. And why? Methods of introducing transgenes into fertilized eggs and animal cells have been considerably improved. Transgenic animals, for example, can now produce therapeutic proteins in grams per liter milk. The range of applications is, quite simply, mind–boggling.

The topics covered in this volume present a thorough and fascinating introduction to the methods, potentials and limitations of the genetic engineering of animals. Written by leading experts in the field, they include ∗ Cloning Vectors ∗ Gene Transfer Techniques ∗ Expression of Foreign Genes ∗ Transgenic Animals.

The articles in this book have been excerpted from the internationally renowned VCH multi–volume series ′Biotechnology′. They give students and professionals direct access to recent developments in genetic engineering.
