RETROVIRAL VECTOR METHOD.
A retrovirus is a virus that carries its genetic
material in the form of RNA rather than DNA.
Retrovirus used as vectors to transfer genetic
material into the host cell resulting in a chimera.
This can be best be done at 4-16 cells stage
embryos.

By Electroporation/Electropermeabilization.
• Transgenic stem cells are grown in vitro.
• Then they are inserted into a blastocyst and
implanted into a hosts uterus to grow
normally.

Technique.
Southern Blotting.
PCR:- PCR is laboratory technique which is widely used
to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA.
It is very precise and can be used to amplify or copy a
specific DNA target from a mixture of DNA molecule.
SOUTHERN BLOTTING:- It is one of the method or
procedure which is used to identify/detect a specific
DNA sequence in DNA samples.
