Using transgenesis to genetically modify animals has spawned a new division of using exogenous DNA to modify sperm cells. Epididymal sperm cells were shown to react to exogenous nucleic acids, allowing for DNA to reversibly bind to the spermatozoa through ionic interactions.
The application of transgenesis in animal genetic modification has led to the development of techniques involving the use of exogenous DNA on sperm cells. Epididymal sperm cells have been shown to respond to exogenous nucleic acids, facilitating the reversible attachment of DNA via ionic interactions.
