Editing Genetic engineering

== Genetic Engineering (Technology) Synopsis ==
[[Genetic engineering]], '''genetic modification''' and '''gene splicing''' are terms for the process of manipulating genes, generally implying that the process is outside the organism's natural reproductive process. 

The term "[[Geneering]]" is sometimes used as a ''portmanteau'' word substitution for "Genetic engineering".

== Genetic Engineering (Technology) Description ==
It involves the isolation, manipulation, transfer, and reintroduction of DNA into cells or model organisms usually to express a protein. The aim is to introduce new characteristics or attributes physiologically or physically, such as making a crop resistant to a herbicide, introducing a novel trait, or producing a new protein or enzyme, along with altering the organism to produce more of certain traits.

Genetic Engineering can be used to alter a life form for adaptability to other worlds by introducing traits that will aid in survival. 

=== Genetic Engineering: Uplift ===
Though extensive work a species can be given a radically new biology (e.g. gills, vaccuum tolerance, manipulating appendages), this combined with an increase in the potential intelligence is usually called '''uplifting'''. 

The [[Ancients]] were masters of "genetic engineering".

=== Genetic Engineering: Genetically Modified Organisms ===
Lifeforms that have been genetically engineered are known by a variety of terms including:
* Alife
* A-life
* Artificla Duplicate ("Ditto" or "Golem")
* [[Artificial Life]]
* Artificial Lifeform
* Cisgenesic Life
* Cisgenic Lifeform
* Claytronic Life
* Claytronic Lifeform
* [[Clone]]
* Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)
* Grey Goo
* Intragenic Life
* Intragenic Lifeform
* Living Modified Organism
* Metalife
* Meta Lifeform
* Parahuman
* Paratransgenetic Life
* Paratransgenetic Lifeform
* [[Pseudobiological Robot]]
* Pseudolife
* Pseudo Lifeform
* Replicator
* Synthetic Life
* Synthetic Lifeform
* Transgenic Life
* Transgenic Lifeform
* Transhuman

=== Genetic Engineering Process: Uplift ===
The genetic engineering process of Uplift is often known by other terms including:
* DNA Doctoring
* Gene Splicing
* [[Geneering]]
* Genetic Engineering
* Genetic Modification
