"Genetic engineers don't make new genes, they rearrange existing ones."

What is it? A genetically modified organism is one that has had its molecules and proteins chemically altered through any method. Also refers to a change in the genetic material. It can be done by incorporating genes from other organisms or by rearranging genes already present. There is no limit to alterations. A genetically modified organism can also be called "transgenic" or transfer of genes. Home Citation 1 Difference Between GM & GE A genetically modified (GM) organism is one that has had its genetic material altered through any method. A genetically engineered (GE) organism is one that is modified using techniques that permit the direct transfer or removal of genes in that organism. Home Citation 4  |

Demand Media Video -- powered by ehow.com How Genetic Engineering Works Genetic engineering works by physically removing a gene from one organism and inserting it into another, giving it the ability to express the trait encoded by that gene. Like taking a single recipe out of a cookbook and placing it into another cookbook. |
