A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination".

Genetically modified mice were created in 1984 that carried cloned oncogenes that predisposed them to developing cancer. [50] The technology has also been used to generate mice with genes knocked out. The first recorded knockout mouse was created by Mario R. Capecchi, Martin Evans and Oliver Smithies in 1989.

[23] [24] However it took another eight years before transgenic mice were developed that passed the transgene to their offspring. [25] [26] Genetically modified mice were created in 1984 that carried cloned oncogenes, predisposing them to developing cancer. [27] Mice with genes knocked out (knockout mouse) were created in 1989.
That’s why, in 1996, Monsanto created a GMO that Roundup could be used on without destroying the crop itself — the “Roundup ready” soybean. Other Roundup-ready crops, such as cotton and ...
Carnations were released in 1997, with the most popular genetically modified organism, a blue rose (actually lavender or mauve) created in 2004. [10] The roses are sold in Japan, the United States, and Canada. [11] [12] Other genetically modified ornamentals include Chrysanthemum and Petunia. [8]

Genetically modified bacteria were the first organisms to be modified in the laboratory, due to their simple genetics. [1] These organisms are now used for several purposes, and are particularly important in producing large amounts of pure human proteins for use in medicine.
