Did you mean Transgenic Mice?

GlossaryTransgenic Mice

mice with altered genomes to study specific gene effects

Transgenic mice, also known as genetically modified mice, are mice that have had their genomes altered through the introduction of foreign DNA. This genetic modification allows researchers to study the effects of specific genes on development, physiology, and disease, making them invaluable tools in biomedical research.
