-==Synopsis ==
+#REDIRECT [[Genetic Engineering]]
-[[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".
-==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.
-The [[Ancients]] were masters of "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'''.
-===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]]

-===Process Synonyms ===
