Transgenic mice are created by inserting cloned genes (transgenes) into fertilized ova or embryonic stem cells. Knockout mice have genes deleted to study their function, though precise single-gene addition is challenging.

| Text | Transgenic mice are altered at their germ line by introducing a cloned gene into fertilized ova or into embryonic stem cells A Transgene gene is a cloned gene that has been introduced to a germ line Knockout mice have genes deleted from their genome in order to see what effect it has on them; it is hard to only add 1 gene to their DNA |
