A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using recombinant DNA [[genetic engineering]] techniques. In most cases, genes are cut using the [[escherichia coli]] bacteria. Other gene sequences are then inserted into the gap created, and the gene parts are reconnected. | A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using recombinant DNA [[genetic engineering]] techniques.
