Answer: A transgenic animal is one that has integrated a gene or DNA sequence (a 'transgene'), which has been transferred by human intervention, into the genome of a cell.

Transgenic animals are animals (most commonly mice) that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome. Such animals are most commonly created by the microinjection of DNA into the pronuclei of a fertilised egg which is subsequently implanted into the oviduct of a pseudopregnant surrogate mother.
