Abstract

Gene transfer by pronuclear injection has been accomplished in farm animals by a number of research groups. Applications of this technology for improving milk composition, producing pharmaceutical proteins and manipulating physiology are described. Recent developments in our understanding of gene expression at the molecular level will increase the precision with which genetic changes can be made by gene transfer.
