What is the Difference Between Transgenic and Cisgenic
The main difference between transgenic and cisgenic is that in a transgenic modification, the foreign genes come from an organism that is sexually incompatible with the recipient organism whereas, in a cisgenic modification, the foreign genes come from a sexually compatible donor organism.
Transgenic and cisgenic are two types of genetic modifications classified based on the origination of the foreign genes. In a cisgenic modification, foreign genes are flanked by its own promoter and terminator sequences.
