Genetic engineering(genetic modification) Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation（处理） of an organisms genome（基因组）using biotechnology. Genetic engineering alters the genetic make-up of an organism using techniques that remove heritable material or that introduce DNA prepared outside the organism either directly into the host or into a cell that is then fused or hybridize （使杂交） with the host.
