Abstract:
Compared to experiments involving pigs, cows and/or sheep, transgenesis applied to goats is probably less advertised. However, recent successes and increasing amount of dedicated research make this species of special interest for ongoing biological and physiological questions on genome engineering in large animals. This short review aims at highlighting the current applications and limitations of the goat genome manipulation.

The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
