How is a transgenic mouse created? To generate a transgenic mouse, microinjection of DNA or infection

What Is A Transgenic Mouse Model? Transgenic mice are mouse models that have had their genomes altered for the purpose of studying gene functions. How are transgenic mouse models made? To generate a transgenic mouse, microinjection of DNA or infection with a viral vector containing the gene construct can be used to insert the gene
