Let me just point here that transGENIC mice are not the same as tranGENDER mice.
Transgenic mice are those where we introduce a gene into one of their chromosomes to study mechanisms of disease and find cures.
Transgender mice, as described by D. Trump in his recent congress speech, do not exist.🧪

Proud to be part of this great collaboration with the Volz lab, TiHo Hannover.
