'''Genetic engineering''', recombinant [[DNA]] [[technology]], genetic modification/manipulation (GM) and gene splicing are terms that apply to the direct manipulation of an [[organism]]'s genes.[1] Genetic engineering is different from [[tradition]]al breeding, where the organism's genes are manipulated indirectly. Genetic engineering uses the [[technique]]s of molecular cloning and transformation to alter the [[structure]] and characteristics of genes directly. Genetic engineering techniques have found some successes in numerous applications. Some examples are in improving crop technology, the manufacture of synthetic human insulin through the use of modified bacteria, the manufacture of erythropoietin in hamster ovary cells, and the production of new types of [[experiment]]al mice such as the oncomouse (cancer mouse) for [[research]].
