| genetic engineering |
New research techniques that manipulate the DNA (genetic material) of cells. The genesplicing technique, which produces recombinant DNA, is a method of transporting selected genes from one species to another. The genes, which are actually portions of molecules of DNA, are removed from the donor (insect, plant, mammal, or other organism) and spliced into the genetic material of a virus; the virus is then allowed to infect recipient bacteria. ...

| genetic engineering |
The alteration of the genetic constitution of cells or individuals by directed and selective modification, insertion, or deletion of an individual gene or genes. In some cases, novel gene combinations are made by joining DNA fragments from different organisms.
