Processes used to produce transgenic species Transgenic species are groups of organisms that contain genes from other species. Transgenic animal species are produced by two main methods: the transgene ("two separately cloned genes are spliced together‚ one gene contains the coding sequence for the protein of interest and the other controls the tissue in which the animal protein will be expressed") can be microinjected in or created by using embryonic stem cells. The microinjection method involves
