Genetic engineering is the application of scientific tools and methods to modify the genetic information of a living organism in order to achieve a desired effect. Modern genetic engineering methods focus on manipulate the organism's DNA sequence to achieve the desired effect. More traditional methods include inter-breeding organisms displaying the desired trait.
