Species summary: Japanese researchers disrupted the leptin receptor gene in tiger puffer using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to increase appetite and the speed at which they gain weight. (GMO).
Genetic engineering:
Yes - variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
