Genetic modification (genetic engineering) is the manipulation of the genetic material of an organism to produce desired traits, such as nutritional quality, photosynthetic efficiency and herbicide re [..]

process of altering the genes of an organism.

The production of heritable improvements in plants or animals for specific uses, via either genetic engineering or other more traditional methods. Some countries other than the United States use this [..]

A general term which refers to any intentional change to the heritable traits of an organism. This includes both traditional breeding and recombinant DNA techniques.

Genetic modification means the intentional alteration of the hereditary genetic material of an organism in a manner that differs from natural recombination and induced mutation, i.e. the introduction [..]

The technique of removing, modifying or adding genes to a living organism via genetic engineering or other more traditional methods.  Also referred to as gene splicing, recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology or genetic engineering.

1. The production of heritable improvements in plants or animals for specific uses, via either genetic engineering or other, more traditional methods. 2. Any process that alters the genetic material of living organism.

The selective and purposeful alteration of genes by humans. Genetic modification includes methods of incorporating new genes or traits into an organism through genetic engineering, mutagenesis and tra [..]

Any process that alters the genetic material of living organism. This includes duplicating, deleting or inserting one or more new genes or altering the activities of an existing gene. It can be performed on microbes, plants or animals (humans included). Where this is done in humans, it is gene therapy, and only human genes are used.*

Genetic modification (GM) is any process that changes the genetic material of an organism (plant, animal, bacteria or virus) in order to make it capable of producing new substances or performing new or different functions.

or transgenesis is the process whereby a genetically modified organism is made in the laboratory. This involves making artificial or modified genetic material (GM constructs) which are inserted into t [..]

 A process of transferring genetic material from the cells of one organism to those of another for the purpose of producing stronger or more resilient strains.
