Transgenic sheep
Transgenic sheep. These transgenic sheep were bred at the Biotechnology Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (RASHN). The worlds first fully transgenic sheep was created in 1991. Transgenic methods involve transferring genetic material from one animal to another. When this is done with farm animals such as sheep, the aim is usually to increase the quality and yield of meat, milk or wool. Photographed in 1999, in the Moscow region of Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking world of transgenic sheep, a remarkable achievement in genetic engineering. Bred at the esteemed Biotechnology Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (RASHN) in 1999, these transgenic sheep represent a significant milestone in scientific advancement. Transgenic methods involve transferring genetic material from one animal to another, and when applied to farm animals like sheep, it aims to enhance the quality and yield of meat, milk, or wool. The creation of the world's first fully transgenic sheep back in 1991 paved the way for further exploration into genetically modifying livestock. Photographed against a backdrop of the picturesque Moscow region in Russia, this image captures both the biological marvels and cutting-edge research taking place within RASHN's laboratory. These genetically modified creatures embody humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation and progress throughout the 20th century. With their unique genetic makeup carefully engineered by scientists at RASHN using state-of-the-art biotechnology techniques, these transgenic sheep symbolize our ability to manipulate nature for our benefit while respecting ethical boundaries. This photograph serves as a visual testament to mankind's unwavering curiosity and determination to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this extraordinary snapshot invites us into an intriguing realm where biology meets technology—a realm that continues to shape our understanding and utilization of genetics even today.
