Transgenic Mice Convert Carbohydrates to Essential Fatty Acids [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Transgenic mice (named “Omega mice”) were engineered to carry both optimized fat-1 and fat-2 genes from the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and are capable of producing essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids from saturated fats or carbohydrates. When

Generation of cloned transgenic pigs rich in omega-3 fatty acids [PDF]
, 2006 Meat products are generally low in omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids, which are beneficial to human health. We describe the generation of cloned pigs that express a humanized Caenorhabditis elegans gene, fat-1, encoding an n-3 fatty acid desaturase.
