During discussions it was put forward that there are two stages in the creation of a germline transgenic animal. The first step is to create a founder animal. This is the developmental stage... During the second stage, which is trying to procreate the founder animals to establish true breeding lines, there is more confidence in the determination of a negative status therefore polymerase chain reaction only need be performed. 1, record 1, English, - founder%20animal

A breeder should not allow more than 50% of the genes of the foundation animal appear in any individual in the herd as this will avoid incestuous relationships. 3, record 1, English, - founder%20animal

Durant les discussions, on a indiqué qu'il existe deux stades dans la création d'un animal transgénique issu de cellules germinales. Le premier stade consiste à créer l'animal fondateur. Il s'agit du stade du développement [...] Pendant le deuxième stade -- qui consiste à multiplier l'animal fondateur afin d'établir des lignées pouvant transmettre leurs caractères héréditaires --, seule une amplification par la polymérase est requise, car la confiance en la détermination du statut négatif est plus élevée. 2, record 1, French, - animal%20fondateur

The utility of tyrosinase minigene co-injection was evaluated as a visual marker for the generation and breeding of transgenic mice. In an evaluation of 39 transgenic founder animals and 44 transgenic lines five phenotypic patterns of pigmentation were consistently observed, including albino, dark, light, mottled and himalayan. In these studies co-injection of the tyrosinase minigene along with the transgene of interest(TOI) resulted in genomic integration of the two transgenes in 95% of the F0 generation. 2, record 3, English, - minigene
