The ability to genetically modify pigs has enabled scientists to create pigs that are beneficial to humans in ways that were previously unimaginable. Improvements in the methods to make genetic modifications have opened up the possibilities of introducing transgenes, knock-outs and knock-ins with precision. The benefits to medicine include the production of pharmaceuticals, the provision of organs for xenotransplantation into humans, and the development of models of human diseases. The benefits to agriculture include resistance to disease, altering the carcass composition such that it is healthier to consume, improving the pig's resistance to heat stress, and protecting the environment. Additional types of genetic modifications will likely provide animals with characteristics that will benefit humans in currently unimagined ways.

用于农业和农业的转基因猪。

基因改造猪的能力使科学家能够以以前无法想象的方式创造出对人类有益的猪。进行基因修饰的方法的改进开辟了精确引入转基因，敲除和敲入的可能性。对医学的好处包括药品的生产，提供异种移植到人体的器官以及人类疾病模型的开发。农业的好处包括抵抗疾病，改变alter体组成使其食用更健康，提高猪对热应激的抵抗力以及保护环境。其他类型的基因修饰可能会为动物提供以目前无法想象的方式造福人类的特征。
