"Mammals that glow fluorescent colors. A fearless mouse. A goat that spins spider silk. These animals do not exist naturally. But thanks to transgenesis, a process in which foreign genes are inserted into an animal's DNA, they are around today. Scientists create so-called transgenic animals to investigate disease treatments, produce natural material and expand scientific knowledge."
