Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Scientists genetically modified the pigs' genomes in order to create smaller pigs for medical research since pigs can be useful in studying human disease and due to their high intelligence, are easy to manage in a laboratory setting. For example, scientists are working on studying the possibility of utilizing pig hearts for human heart organ transplant and work has been done to genetically modify the tissues of pigs to be accepted by the human immune system.
The Göttingen minipig is a breed of miniature pig developed for use in biomedical research. Beginning in the late 1960s at the Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics at the University of Göttingen, Germany, the breed was developed by crossbreeding the Minnesota minipig, the Vietnamese Potbelly Pig and the German Landrace pig.
