A transgenic mammal
A gene from rat to mouse
Biochemists Richard Palmiter, of the University of Washington, and Ralph Brinster, of the University of Pennsylvania, create the first transgenic mammal by inserting a gene from a rat into the fertilized eggs of mice, implanting the eggs in surrogate mothers, and then confirming function of the gene in offspring.
