A rat with some human genes could provide a better way to test Alzheimer's drugs. The genetically modified rat is the first rodent model to exhibit the full range of brain changes found in Alzheimer's ...

In a new study appearing in the June issue of Nature Methods, UT Southwestern researchers detail how they created 35 new rat "lines," with each type of animal harboring mutations in specific genes.

Using the blastocyst complementation method, we produced rat embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived sperm in testicular hypoplasia mice and successfully generated rat offspring. This method can provide a ...

In a striking demonstration of targeted knockout rats, scientists used zinc finger nucleases to deactivate a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene, which causes the rats to appear green under ...

Resulting animals had permanent heritable mutations, according to paper in Science. A group of scientists report the creation of the first genetically modified rats using Sangamo Biosciences zinc ...

In this article, we will be taking a look at the top 20 real examples of genetically modified organisms. To skip our detailed analysis, you can go directly to see the t op 5 real examples of ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have created the first genetically engineered model of lung cancer in naked mole rats, a species long thought to be resistant to cancer. The findings, published in ...
