Sperm-mediated gene transfer

Sperm-mediated gene transfer

Sperm-mediated gene transfer, or SMGT, is a technique used to produce transgenic animals. Genetic material is introduced into sperm, which are used to fertilize eggs. The embryos are carried to term. The offspring may be transgenic, mosaic, or neither.
