De tous temps, l'homme s'est efforcé de transformer la nature, par exemple en procédant à l'élevage d'animaux. La biotechnologie animale moderne se distingue toutefois de l'élevage traditionnel, notamment par les caractéristiques suivantes : - les méthodes utilisées : intervention directe au niveau microscopique (cellules, ADN, gènes) à l'aide de techniques très complexes, - la portée des nouvelles méthodes : elles permettent de franchir les barrières entre les espèces, et même entre règnes (végétaux, animaux, humains); la rapidité et la précision des techniques en cause, la mise en œuvre d'applications entièrement nouvelles, telles que les xénotransplantations. 2, record 1, French, - biotechnologie%20animale
