Génie génétique

Changing the characteristics of an animal by altering or rearranging its DNA.  It is an all-embracing term for several techniques:  (1) manipulations at a cellular level (cloning); (2) manipulation of the DNA itself (gene manipulation); (3) changing the DNA sequence through the selection and mating of cattle.

The act of altering the way that genes work with the help of science; human intervention with natural genetics

process of altering and cloning genes to produce a new trait in an organism or to make a biological substance, such as a protein or hormone.

Genetic engineering is the process of using recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology to alter the genetic makeup of an organism. Traditionally, humans have manipulated genomes indirectly by controlling breeding and selecting offspring with desired traits. Genetic engineering involves the direct manipulation of one or more genes. Most often, a gene from an [..]

The techniques involved in altering the characteristics of one organism by inserting genes from another organism into its DNA.

The genetic manipulation of organisms in an effort to produce desirable characteristics.

a set of techniques where genetic contents of living cells or viruses can be deliberately altered, by modifying the existing genes or by introducing novel material from a different species.
