The transgene is a type of gene which is transferred from one organism to the other. This transfer can be either natural or by the aid of one of the techniques used in genetic engineering. The phenomenon in which a transgene is being introduced in an organism is termed as transgenesis and resultantly, the phenotype of the organism is altered.
The transgene may have the ability to give rise to RNA and proteins in the transgenic organisms. In other cases, the transgenes tend to change the normal functioning of the genetic code of the transgenic organisms. In order to create a transgene, it is made sure that the gene contains a promoter, an exon, and a stop sequence. These genes are introduced into the target organism by the help of vectors.
