Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Typically transgenic sheep expressing the extra growth hormone gene grow larger than normal sheep, are leaner, produce more milk and, in some breeds, produce more wool. A sheep has approximately 45,000 genes. CSIRO research indicates that taking just one of these genes (growth hormone) and inserting an extra copy into an animal's DNA is a complex business and can have effects previously unknown. For example, CSIRO research indicates that these transgenic sheep had a higher fecal worm egg count, indicating they may be more susceptible to internal parasites - something previously unsuspected. This image shows the transgenic (or GM sheep) modified with an extra copy of growth hormone gene on the left, with a normal-sized control sheep on the right. |
