Biographical / Historical
Roslin Institute's partnership with AviGenics developed from Roslin's patents on their ex-vivo chicken embryo culture system, which produced germline transgenics after oocyte DNA microinjection, and a vector system which produced multiple single insertions of DNA at a higher frequency. Following a withdrawal of funding from MAFF, Roslin desired to find a partner with resources to support research in this area.
