Abstract  

Transgenic pigs are animals that have been genetically altered by inserting a transgene (natural or artificial gene) into their genomes to express a new trait, and intend to be stable in the progenies. Therefore, it has most important application in the animal genetics &breeding, drug evaluation, disease animal model, animal bioreactor and xenograft donor, etc. In this paper, the research progress of transgenic pigs, technical methods and application status were briefly reviewed.
