some transgenic animals are produced for specific economic traits. For example, transgenic cattle were created to produce milk containing particular human proteins, which may help in the treatment of human emphysema.
other transgenic animals are produced as disease models. For example, Harvard scientists made a major scientific breakthrough when they received a U.S. patent for a genetically engineered mouse carrying a gene that promotes the development of various human cancers.
