The term Transgenic Animal refers to an animal in which there has been a deliberate modification of the genome the material responsible for inherited characteristics. An animal is transgenic once a scientist inserts DNA from another organism. This process allows scientists to transfer beneficial genes from a different animal bacterium or plant. Currently scientists are developing transgenic pigs cattle fish and poultry. Research into transgenic animals could prove useful in several ways. Scientists can provide animals with beneficial genes or traits such as disease resistance that will improve their quality of life and bolster waning populations. Transgenic animals may also be designed for organ production helping to ease the critical shortage of kidneys and livers available for transplants. In addition scientists are researching ways to produce proteins or drugs in transgenic animals. Transgenic aquacultural research will hasten the development of high quality economical seafood as well as protect stressed marine populations. Specifically the environmental and nutritional benefits resulting from aquaculture outweigh potential risks which include the runoff of pollutants into closed or semi closed waterways the elimination of coastal forests and ecosystems the potential for increases in waterborne disease and parasites and sustainability. 210 pp. Seller Inventory # 61021
