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". [1]
An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be genetically modified (GM) and the resulting entity is a genetically modified organism (GMO). The first GMO was a bacterium generated by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in 1973. Rudolf Jaenisch created the first GM animal when he inserted foreign DNA into a mouse in 1974.

GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, comprise a large majority of the food much of the western world consumes on a daily basis.

The process of genetically engineering mammals is a slow, tedious, and expensive process. [2] As with other genetically modified organisms (GMOs), first genetic engineers must isolate the gene they wish to insert into the host organism.
Monsanto makes money selling genetically modified (GM) seeds. Though once a broader-scale chemicals company, Monsanto's seeds and genomics business accounted for over 70% of the company's gross ...
