Genetic engineering, which is also called genetic modification, is the manipulation of the genome of an organism in order to change that organisms. Products of genetic engineering include foods, bacteria such as those which have been modified to product insulin, and animals such as goats which are manipulated to produce the protein called antithrombin.
