  3. Genetically modified animal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_animal

    Genetically modified animals are animals that have been genetically modified for a variety of purposes including producing drugs, enhancing yields, increasing resistance to disease, etc. The vast majority of genetically modified animals are at the research stage while the number close to entering the market remains small.

  4. Genetically modified mammal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_mammal

    Genetically modified mammals are mammals that have been genetically engineered.They are an important category of genetically modified organisms.The majority of research involving genetically modified mammals involves mice with attempts to produce knockout animals in other mammalian species limited by the inability to derive and stably culture embryonic stem cells.

  5. Genetic engineering techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    Genetic engineering techniques allow the modification of animal and plant genomes. Techniques have been devised to insert, delete, and modify DNA at multiple levels, ranging from a specific base pair in a specific gene to entire genes. There are a number of steps that are followed before a genetically modified organism (GMO) is created.

  6. Genetically modified organism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_organism

    A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination".

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology

    Genetic testing identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. [51] Most of the time, testing is used to find changes that are associated with inherited disorders. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. As of ...

  8. Cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

    Natural cloning is the production of clones without the involvement of genetic engineering techniques or human intervention (i.e. artificial cloning). [4] Natural cloning occurs through a variety of natural mechanisms, from single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms, and has allowed life forms to spread for hundreds of millions ...

  9. Agricultural biotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_biotechnology

    Agricultural biotechnology, also known as agritech, is an area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and tissue culture, to modify living organisms: plants, animals, and microorganisms.
