Genetic engineering is a deliberate
manipulation of genetic material by b
iochemical techniques. It is often achieved
by the introduction of new DNA, usually by
means of a virus or plasmid. This can be for
pure research or to breed functionally
specific plants, animals, or bacteria. These
organisms with a foreign gene added are said
to be transgenic.
