Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

TransGENIC mice are NOT TransGENDER mice.
TransGENIC refers to an organism or cell whose genome has been genetically altered.
We use them to model human diseases & develop new treatments.
This is yet another attempt to push anti-trans & anti-science rhetoric.

Remember how the Trump administration raged about "transgender mice" because of studies involving transgenic mice?
Well, the woman who just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine wrote her thesis using transgenic mice.

Brunkow was born in 1961 in Portland, Oregon.[2][3] She graduated at St. Mary's Academy in Portland in 1979.[3]
Brunkow received a BS in molecular and cellular biology from the University of Washington in 1983.[4] She received a PhD in molecular biology from Princeton University in 1991, where her advisor was Shirley M.

NEW: Yet another group of researchers is suing the NIH and HHS over a massive purge of federal research grants.
The class-action suit alleges the Trump admin is violating scientists' first amendment rights by using keyword searches to censor science that doesn't align with its political views.

“If you think ‘transgenic mice’ means they transitioned, you probably also think ‘Buffalo wings’ come from actual buffalo.
Transgenic means a gene was added for scientific research. It has nothing to do with gender. MAGAs are fucking idiots.”

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.
