Features: This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields, as well as a reference for researchers and managers. The book is divided into ten chapters, systematically introducing traditional topics in transgenic animal research, such as the history of transgenic animals, transgenic methods, and the mechanisms of gene integration and expression. To reflect the development trends of transgenic animals in the 21st century, the book dedicates a section to explaining the principles and methods of animal somatic cell cloning and gene targeting integration, while also predicting their future prospects. Additionally, a separate chapter is devoted to discussing the research achievements, development prospects, and conditions of animal mammary gland bioreactors, enabling readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of this significant technology. Animal reproductive biology is the theory behind studying transgenic animals, and the chicken is a crucial subject in the development of the transgenic animal industry. The book touches on both of these aspects.
