Synopsis

Genetic transformation in the rabbit has been attempted by the artificial insemination of semen incubated with deoxyribonucleic acid. No evidence was obtained of any transformation at the albino or rex loci, nor of sex. The experiments comprised twenty inseminated does, and 133 offspring of several categories.
