Transgenic farm animals are important in human medicine as a source of biologically active proteins, as donors in xenotransplantation and for a research in cell and gene therapy. Typical agricultural application include improved carcass composition, lactation performance and wool production, as well as enhanced disease resistance and reduced environmental impact. This minireview summarizes recent research based on the transgenic farm animal production and their potential applications.
