Genetic engineering is a series of techniques to isolate, modify, reproduce, and recombining genes from different organisms. According to scientists in molecular biology, Mae Wan Hoo, in his book, these techniques allow transfer of genes between different species is impossible kimpoi each other naturally, such as fish genes inserted into tomatoes and human genes transferred to the sheep.

This technology is designed to break the barriers between species and weaken the defense mechanism of the species. Genetic engineering of plants and animals began in the mid-1970s that triggered the discovery of several key techniques in genetics molecular method.
This mutant fish is a research professor at the University of Rhode Island, Mr. Terry Bradley. By genetically modifying the trout, this mutant has a muscle mass between 15-20% higher than the standard fish.

Connect again to the mutant fish that, as for the study of them by blocking myostatin, a protein that slows growth. They inject thousands of trout eggs with various types of DNA that inhibit myostatin workrate.

The positive effects of the results of this research is commercially, with the result that more fish meat, but without increasing the cost of fish feed.

America is very diligent about transgenic research, from the plants until the animal. It's commercial, transgenic products is very profitable results. However, in health, remains a question mark if it is safe to consume GM products? Agan still remember it as the case of soybeans imported from the United States that proved to be transgenic soybeans?

Sure, as long as there has been no scientific reports in Indonesia that prove about the dangers of GMO products, other than an allergic reaction (This product has been withdrawn from the market). Thus, until recently, transgenic products are still suitable for consumption. However, it is recognized that the publicity about the risks of transgenic food products to humans, is still very small. Whereas the negative effects of consumption may actually have a lot of GM products in the community just not a lot of data that prove it.
