Özet

The gene transfer technique, shortly, has permitted the transfer of genes from one organism to another. This technique is of great importance to many aspects of biomedical science including gene regulation, the immune system, cancer research, developmental biology. The production of transgenic animals is one of a number new and developing technologies that will have a profound impact on the genetic improvement of livestock. In aquaculture, the first microinjection method studies reported in 1985. Aim of this technology; elevated growth enhancement, resistance to some known diseases, tolerance to low oxygen concentrations and tolerance to subzero temperatures.
