Genetically Modified Organisms

The process of artificially introducing foreign genes into organisms is termed transfection, and the recombinant organ-isms produced in this way are called transgenic or genetically modified organisms.

Genetically Modified Organisms

The process of artificially introducing foreign genes into organisms is termed transfection, and the recombinant organ-isms produced in this way are called transgenic or genetically modified organisms.

Foreign genes have been inserted into a variety of microbes, plants, and animals through recombinant DNA techniques developed especially for them. Transgenic “designer” organ-isms are available for a variety of biotechnological applications. Because they are unique life forms that would never have other-wise occurred, they can be patented.
